Leonard Bernstein’s performance of Rhapsody in Blue at a Displaced Person’s Camp after the war helped Schaja, a Polish Jewish baker, transition from despair to hope. Many years later, at the news that Mr. Bernstein is coming to New Zealand, Schaja’s daughter tracks down the conductor, with unexpected consequences.
