David “Saba” Wisnia never told his wife, children or grandchildren the whole truth about how he survived the Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. The family knew his singing voice had entertained the guards, and that his musical gift had changed his fate, but his grandson Avi Wisnia suspects there is more to his Saba’s story. 

HOW SABA KEPT SINGING traces a remarkable journey revealing a touching firsthand account of how Wisnia, a Polish Jewish teenager, survived nearly three years in the camp. It illuminates his past as he travels with his grandson to Poland to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the camp’s liberation. The story is also brought to life through dynamic animation and David and Avi Wisnia’s music.
