Viera Gran, the stunningly beautiful singer in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II, is the "hidden" face in the story of Vladislav Spielmann, the famous pianist whose life was created by Roman Polanski. Spielman played the piano in a café in the center of the Jewish ghetto, where Viera Gran sang from April 1941 until the spring of 1942. In 1942, Viera Gran managed to escape the ghetto, leaving her own people behind. Spielman became a movie hero and was admired for his courage, fighting spirit and heroism. She was accused after the war of collaborating with the Nazis and of being a double agent. Towards the end of her life, buried alive in her residence in Paris, Viera Grand watched the Oscars for Polanski's work and the posthumous triumph of Spielman, her greatest enemy and "craftsman" of her misery, as she called him. After the war, Spielmann became the director of Polish radio and fought relentlessly, refusing to cooperate with her, while Viera Gran dropped the charges. The trials of 1945 and 1947 almost acquitted her of doubts, but did not justify her. Gran exiled herself, traveled the world as another wandering Jew, sang in the cabaret of Caracas and Tel Aviv, but also at Carnegie Hall in New York, and ended up alone in a small apartment in Paris, queen of a kingdom of shadows and time of war. He died on November 19, 2007. In Greek.
