The Pianist — Poland
Polish-Jewish pianist Władysław Szpilman survives the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto and years in hiding.
The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest in Nazi-occupied Europe, imprisoning 400,000 Jews. The 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising lasted 28 days — the largest single revolt by Jews during WWII. The Germans razed the entire ghetto in retaliation.
