Alma Rosé was the niece of Gustav Mahler and a violinist herself based in Austria. After fleeing from the rise of Nazi Germany, Alma eventually found herself captured and sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau where she used her musical talents to lead the women's orchestra until her death in 1944. This StoryMap follows the life of Alma through her performances across Europe, her attempts to flee Nazi capture, and her time in Auschwitz-Birkenau.
