• Foreward -- Author's note -- Prologue -- A concert with Leonard Bernstein in May 1948 -- From artist to slave laborer -- A documentary takes us back in time -- Paprika, prayers, and persecution -- Finding the cello (and the man) of my dreams -- Losing everything again -- Katherine's last recital -- Eichmann in Budapest, a tale of monsters as men -- Envoi to atrocious times -- Papa's death and notes of transcendence -- A musician afraid of sound -- Pilgrimage -- Living in isolation -- When history is revised and denied -- The fear of rising antisemitism -- Playing for my people in Germany (Landsberg, 2018).

• "A sweeping history of three generations darkened by the long shadow of the Holocaust, The Cello Still Sings is a vivid, moving, and true story of personal discovery. As a child Janet is haunted by the eerie hush surrounding her parents' experiences. George and Katherine, two professional musicians and Holocaust survivors, bury the memories of who and what they were before, silencing the past in order to live. Music is their lifeline." --
