"The Pianist" is based on a memoir published by1946. Schipperman was a very famous pianist in Polish radio and cafe circles during the Nazi occupation in the 1930s. In September 1939, when Warsaw was savagely bombed, Polish radio had no announcer voice, only a young pianist played Chopin's nocturne. Six years later, the broadcast resumed, playing the same piece, and the performer was the same pianist, Schipperman. In the meantime, Schipperman escaped the fate of going to Auschwitz, and instead lived on the streets of Warsaw, struggling to survive in the Jewish quarter, using the piano to soothe his compatriots who live in fear every day. With the help of a compassionate German officer, Schippermann finally waited until the day when the Nazis were driven away, and the officer himself died in a prisoner-of-war camp.
