Robin Lustig

Broadcaster and journalist Robin Lustig explores how one family’s story can illuminate the universal human struggle to survive, remember, and belong. 

More than a history of persecution, this is a story of resilience and continuity: of lives rebuilt, music carried across borders, and stories reclaimed from silence. Using the cello as a powerful symbol of cultural survival, this is a reflection on memory, inheritance, and what it means to carry the past into the present. 

‘A poignant, evocative family history by a consummate journalist.’
Jonathan Freedland 

Robin will be in conversation with biographer, journalist & author of The Women’s Orchestra of Auschwitz Anne Sebba.
