Narrative:
Action of the film Pianist takes place in September 1939 in Warsaw. After the Germans occupied Poland, the lives of Polish Jews turned into a living hell. At first, they were given humiliating rules, according to which Jews had to move around the city with armbands depicting the Star of David. They were forbidden to visit parks, cafes and other public places.
But this was not enough for the occupiers. By the summer of 1940, by order of the military commandant of Warsaw, all Jews were to be resettled in special zones. About half a million Jews were gathered in the Warsaw ghetto. But even a half-starved life in the ghetto soon seemed like a dream. In 1942, the Germans began actively sending Jews to labor camps in the East, from where no one returned alive.
The famous pianist of Polish radio Wladyslaw Szpilman miraculously manages to avoid being sent to labor camps; he is saved by an acquaintance who worked for the local police. But remaining in the ghetto, Wladyslaw understands that here too, sooner or later, he will die. Hard physical labor, meager rations, and execution for the slightest offense: all this only intensified as the Germans' situation worsened at the front.

For this reason, Vladislav decides to escape from the ghetto. With the help of his friends, Polish underground fighters, he manages to hide in a safe house. Here he had to live under lock and key, because going out into the street with his face meant immediate death. Vladislav often had to live in hunger, and once he almost died of jaundice, which developed from constant malnutrition.
In 1944, the Warsaw Uprising began, and Szpilman managed to leave his hiding place. He wandered around the city in search of food and one day, in one of the best-preserved buildings, he found a jar of cucumbers. Unable to open it, Wladyslaw went down to the first floor in search of a tool and here he encountered a German officer.
Szpilman had already said goodbye to life, but the German was in a peace-loving mood, and when he learned that Vladislav was a pianist, he asked him to play something. Szpilman's playing touched the German completely, and he not only did not give up the Jew, but also regularly brought him food.
Szpilman was very grateful to his savior. As he would later learn, his name was Wilhelm Hosenfeld. After Warsaw was liberated by secular troops, Hosenfeld was captured and died in 1952 in a Soviet prisoner of war camp.
Wladek Szpilman himself returned to his work on Polish radio. Despite what he had experienced, he lived a long life and died in Warsaw at the age of 88…
