1st leader Polish music teacher  Zofia Czajkowska  -  2nd leader Austran violonist  Alma Rosé - Family Mahler
Initially scheme only for non Jewish women
Group obliged to play marches when inmates going out sat start of day and returning in the evening to force quick step
Group forced to play music when new arrivals detrain to give the impression Auschwitz was another more humane camp like Thereisienstadt

Doubt on the death of Rosé. Was it planned?                                                                    Was 3rd leader Soviet pianist Sonja Winogradowa chosen by the SS purposely against Jewish women?
