The Pianist is about a Jewish man named Wladyslaw Szpilman. Wladyslaw Szpilman was a pianist and had worked in the Polish Radio. This book describes how he survived in Warsaw from the beginning of the occupation of Poland to the very end of World War II. He recounts his story with astoundingly specific details from his last meal with his family to his thought process when he was in hiding.
I thought that this book was very interesting but very sad. When I read this book I could easily picture what he was going through at the time and was able to have some insight of the heartbreaking story of all the Jewish people across Europe. I would recommend this book to people that are interested in World War II and that are curious about the conditions of the Jewish people during this time.
