Abstract
In this chapter Eischeid answers the question, “Who was Fania Fénelon?” Fénelon’s personal biography is detailed as well as the impetus behind the creation of her Holocaust memoir. Co-author Marcelle Routier’s involvement is explored, as are the initial versions and subsequent editions of Playing for Time including Sursis pour l’orchestre, The Musicians of Auschwitz, and Das Mädchenorchester in Auschwitz.
