SYNOPSIS:
Flamboyant and in the prime of her life, Helena Citron is taken to Auschwitz as a young woman and finds unlikely solace under the protection of Franz Wunsch, a high-ranking SS officer who falls in love with her and her magnetic singing voice. Risking certain execution if caught, their forbidden relationship went on until her liberation in 1945. When a letter arrives thirty years later from Wunschas wife, begging Helena to testify on Wunschas behalf, she is faced with an impossible decision. Will she help the man who brutalised so many lives, but saved hers?
