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 Wunscha s wife, begging Helena to testify on Wunscha s behalf, she is faced with an impossible decision. Will she help the man who brutalised so many lives, but saved hers?
