The idea for the performance was originally conceived by the pianist, Mikhail Rudy, who gained the backing of Andrzej Szpilman ( Władysław Szpilman's son ).

Szpilman's son, Andrzej Szpilman, had long called for Yad Vashem to recognize Wilm Hosenfeld as a Righteous Among the Nations, non-Jews who risked their lives to rescue Jews.

In 2002, The Pianist, a film based on Szpilman's memoirs of the same name, portrayed Wilm Hosenfeld's rescue of Władysław Szpilman.

The subsequent prints of Szpilman's memoir omitted the name of Waldorff altogether, and asserted that it was authored by the subject himself.

Outside the building there are disused railway tracks, recalling the trains that took the Jews from the Ghetto to the concentration camps in Szpilman's memoirs.

He also performed at the first concert dedicated to his Szpilman's music, where he met all of his living descendants.

He was also shown the remains of the real-world settings of Szpilman's memoirs by the family, and has remained in contact with them since.

None of Szpilman's family members survived the war.

His son Andrzej lamented that Szpilman's works did not reach a larger audience outside Poland, attributing this to the " division of Europe into two halves culturally as well as politically " after the war.

( Andrzej Szpilman's " Foreword " to the 1999 edition of " The Pianist ," p. 8 )

In 1998, Szpilman's son Andrzej republished his father's work, first in German as Das wunderbare Überleben ( The Miraculous Survival ) by the Ullstein Verlag, a major German publishing house, and then in English as The Pianist.

As it reached a much larger audience, Szpilman's book was widely praised and has entered the pantheon of Holocaust-related classics.

Szpilman's description of the famed Warsaw teacher and writer Janusz Korczak has been described as " overwhelmingly powerful and poignant "; Korczak declined to save himself from deportation to Treblinka, instead walking with the children of his orphanage to the deportation site and ultimately escorting them " into the next world.
