It started on the case: among the package of documents for translation young writer attached a copy of the songbook with notes and the text of the song 'List'. Grandfather of a young writer, Eddie Courts, wrote the music for this song, but because the book will be written already about the fate of the family scattered continents writer (the one set of grandparents are Polish Jews), focused on the ellipsis of securities of Siberia and participation in the Anders Army, a piece of paper with notes treated as an interesting, albeit substantially void ornament.
Then email: 'And where translation song ?'... And a link to YouTube, to Vera Gran comply with it.
Page with a songbook full of text did not have, so this evening, translating 'List' listened to recordings 50 times. Here, the case ended, and began to Wiero-mania ....
Wiera Gran, actually Grynberg Veronica (born April 20 1916 in Russia , died. 19 November 2007 in Paris ) - Polish singer, actress, cabaret and film. She used the pseudonym Sylvia Green, Vera Green on CD's Siren Electro Mariol and melodies on CD Electro, after moving to France was known as Vera Gran. [...]
After the war he was accused of collaborating with the Gestapo during his stay in the ghetto, which is described in several publications.

sang in the Warsaw ghetto, was a super star, whose piano acompaniowal Wladyslaw Szpilman. The accusation of collaborating with the Gestapo forever changed her life: an autobiography nor Spielman or Polanski's Oscar-winning 'The Pianist' (based on his autobiography) does not include any mention of the Faith - has evaporated, did not exist .. The singer tried to defend a few years and although I uniewinnilo independent courts, gossip doscigaly me even after leaving the Polish: France, Israel, in America.
Since the entry of the Gran I believe the Wikipedia (here) jumped on the attached links from Szpilman by 'Pianiste' (have not seen the movie), the "afternoon tea at the microphone 'to Aznavour. At the recording of' Letter 'on YouTube, I read that already Poland saw the biography of the singer, so I shared a link and news about my book from a professor of languages \u200b\u200bfrom high school in Poland, and apparently gave mania August: meeting with the professor dug Tuszyńska, mellowed in line for an autograph, and read a book quickly reversed the ocean. How
package arrived at my door is still hung on the blogs about Faith, articles about her and the people in her life, as well as a book recenzjach Tuszyńska. My mania lasted just a few good weeks, so I read the dedication at the front page of this mania was the culmination of a mile:
Krakow, 7-Nov-2010
Ms. Aleks .. Xyz - my Vera gives with faith
Agata Tuszyńska
Tuszyńska found only by Vera Gran singer sick the last few years living in Paris, and while reading the biography is very absorbent, supported by a hard and time-consuming study of documents from the past, interviews receipts and meticulous search for obscure details, it leaves unsatisfied and feeling that little is known about further believe as a human being. The book 'The accused' is perfect for this attempt to answer the question what is a collaboration with the Nazis bezwglednym, as well as an interesting study on human nature in the face of inhuman conditions.
Bearing laptop handy while reading I could dig itself a few more interesting details in the book raised, as well as traffic on the more contemporary life Vera interesting topics:
