At the heart of this album is a musical triptych inspired by a letter written by Vilma Grunwald saying goodbye to her husband just moments before she and her son John were killed in the Auschwitz gas chamber.
В основе этого альбома лежит музыкальный триптих, вдохновленный письмом, написанным Вильмой Грюнвальд, прощающейся со своим мужем всего за несколько минут до того, как она и ее сын Джон были убиты в газовой камере Освенцима.
