While the Music Played: A Remarkable Story of Courage and Friendship in WWII

More about the book

"It is 1939, in prewar Prague, and Max Mueller, a budding musician, piano tuner, and nascent journalist, is on the cusp of adolescence, as the Nazi influence begins to invade the city's tolerant spirit with alarming speed. As everyone Max loves is compromised by intolerable conditions, his world grows increasingly conflicted. Music is the one constant connecting him to both his lost childhood and the man he still hopes to become. But will it be enough to sustain him against the relentless Nazi threat?"-- Back cover
