The Lost Music of Auschwitz tells the remarkable story of British composer Leo Geyer's 8-year long mission to piece together a treasure-trove of forgotten fragments of music manuscripts found in the archives of the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum.

Dan Einav

Financial Times

Performed recently at Auschwitz, these renditions serve as both a confrontation with the horror of what happened and a powerful symbol of endurance: the lost musicians and composers are honoured in a place built to eradicate them.

Rated: 4/5

Dónal Lynch

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

It’s fitting that the film’s detective work builds to the climax of recreation of the finally completed work composed long ago in that terrible setting. It’s just a shame it wasn’t more thorough with its storytelling.
