Add to basketPaperback. When Robin Lustigs mother died in 2013, he found himself drawn back into the tangled history of his German-Jewish family -- a story of survival, exile, death and endurance. And the Cello Came Too is both a personal memoir and a family chronicle, spanning centuries of Jewish life in Europe, its near-destruction under the Nazis and its slow rebirth in the years after the Second World War.At its heart is the award-winning journalist and broadcasters father, Fritz Lustig, a refugee from Berlin whose cello accompanied him through upheaval, war and a new life in Britain. From Enlightenment rabbis and pioneering journalists to the Three Old Ladies who helped to shape his childhood, Lustig pieces together a sweeping narrative from letters, memoirs, and memory.This is a history not just of persecution but also of resilience and continuity -- of lives rebuilt, music played, and stories reclaimed. Moving, intimate, and meticulously researched, And the Cello Came Too shows how one familys journey can illuminate the universal struggle to survive, remember, and belong. This is the history of a German-Jewish family that begins in Berlin, suffers near destruction under the Nazis and the experiences a rebirth in the years after the Second World War. Moving, intimate, and meticulously researched, it shows how one familys journey can illuminate the universal struggle to survive, remember, and belong. This item is printed on demand.
