- Eminent Polish-Jewish composer and pianist Władysław Szpilman was a household name in pre-WWII Warsaw, but it was his miraculous story of survival during the war that would later form the basis for the Oscar-winning film ‘The Pianist.
First pulled out of a line by a Jewish police officer as he awaited deportation to the German extermination camp Treblinka, he was then hidden for over a year by Polish friends before the Warsaw Uprising left him cut off from them in the ruins of the capital.
Hiding in a burnt out building on 223 Aleja Niepodległości, he was found by a German officer who, remarkably, helped him survive.
As Poland approaches another anniversary of the end of the Warsaw Uprising on the 3rd of October, Heart of Poland interviewed Władysław Szpilman’s son, Andrzej Szpilman, who gave an intimate insight into how he first came to accidentally find his father’s memoir, his journey to getting it published and the film made, and his experiences on the set with Roman Polanski and Adrien Brody.
He also discusses his hopes for his father’s legacy and further projects he is planning to tell his father’s story.
Thanks a lot for an amazing story. I wonder why there is no street in Warsaw dedicated to Mr Szpilman?
He didnt fight or contribute in the Uprising. He hid out with the help of Polish people
This is an issue raised in the interview. Thanks for watching!
In a word, Antisemitism. Remember, the Poles continued killing Jews after the war, determined to keep them from coming back.
But he did fight he fought to survive. He survived.
Si hay !!!
Amaizing story and amaizing son of amaizing father. Thank You❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to this. Thank you and the dog is gorgeous like a little calming therapy dog!
Excelent, fascinating interview. Thank you both!
This is a very interesting and fascinating story. So much history, thanks for sharing this interview!
Pana ojciec zapisał piękną kartę historii.
Książki niestety nie czytałam ale postaram się to nadrobić.
Film Romana Polańskiego widziałam i odebrałam bardzo mocno.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie 🇵🇱♥️
All interviews should have a little dog in it! 🥰
This is the complete story of the book "Pianist" and told by his son Andzrej in cronolgy and fantastic storytelling way. Congratulations, now translated into Swedish (Bookmark) and should be given for free to all young people to remind them of these days desinformation and rightwing dictatorship. Gunnar
What history! I wish the Russians hadn't kept Hosenfeld rotting in a camp until he died- a reunion with him and Spillman would have been epic. Now I want a Yorkie!
@@wombat5628Did you know Hosenfeld had helped several other Jews survive? After the War, survivors told Yad Vashem in Palestine how he hid them, and they honored him as Righteous Among the Nations and planted a Tree in his honor. I hate to think such a fine man rotted away in a Russian Prison camp.
@@rescuepetsrule6842 he didn't rot away, he was killed by torture.
Yes. I read about him right after the movie came out. I'm glad Yad Vashem honored him.
@@hellemarc4767 It was a figure of speech, and, technically, they were all tortured. There is nothing written about a specific torture of Hosenfeld.
Watch this again post October 7th 2023. 😭😭
Jak może w takim materiale nie być polskiego tłumaczenia :(
The slowest interview ever! I couldn’t finish it
i keep holding my breath, waiting for him to get to the point. The digressing into the minutiae is quite painful....
I know he spoke too much ..so much talking not relevant to movie. It should have been more controlled..interesting but too rambling
Thank you for the video but the licking was unnecessary
Pierwszy normalny czlowiek ktory mowi ze w PL nie bylo Komunizmu , mimo ze zyje w PL pewnie z 50 lat .
Syn Wł Szpilmana jest dentystą i mieszka w Niemczecb w BW już napewno z 40 lat.
Captions are so weak as not to compensate for his accent & verbal struggles making this interview pointless, as well as the wiki reference of the holocaust, of wich took out 35+ million non Jewish peoples! I'm not rejecing the historicle persecution of jews, I'm just pointing to the hundreds of millions of non jews persecuted "mostly Indiginous" threw out history..We are a putrid lifeform capable of better, but consuming all other life as well! ..."Sorry for the wrist cutting comments of our existence"
I love the Yorky 🤗
Amazing history, thanks
