Скачать или смотреть The cello of Pál Hermann, Holocaust victim

Hungarian-born cellist and composer Pál Hermann was murdered by the Nazis in a camp in the Baltics in 1944. Upon his arrested in Toulouse (France), he managed to throw a note from the train asking for his 18th century Gagliano cello to be saved from the Nazis.
The note was found and a friend of Hermann's rode 100 kilometres on a bike to recover the instrument from the musician's. Hermann's cello - identifiable by the engraving on its side: "Ego anima musicae sunt" ("I am the soul of music") - was sold twice after the war and experts lost track of it.
This is the story of Hermann, his Gagliano, and how a musicologist from Oxford managed to re-discover the ancient instrument 80 years later in the hands of a young Australian cellist.
