"How music provided hope in one of the world's darkest times--the
inspirational life story of Alice Herz-Sommer, the oldest living
Holocaust survivor" Alice Herz-Sommer was born in Prague in 1903. A
talented pianist from a very early age, she became famous
throughout Europe; but, as the Nazis rose to power, her world
crumbled. In 1942, her mother was deported to the Theresienstadt
concentration camp and vanished. In 1943, Alice, her husband and
their six-year-old son were sent there, too. In the midst of
horror, music, especially Chopin's "Etudes, " was Alice's
salvation. Theresienstadt was a "show camp," a living slice of Nazi
propaganda created to convince outsiders that the Jews were being
treated humanely. In more than a hundred concerts, Alice gave her
fellow prisoners hope in a time of suffering. Written with the
cooperation of Alice Herz-Sommer, Melissa Muller and Reinhard
Piechocki's "Alice's Piano" is the first time her story has been
told. At 107 years old, she continues to play her piano in London
and bring hope to many.
