If the above video is not working, you can take a look at the video interview of Alice Herz Sommer by Bernard Hiller: To leave you with the last lesson from this incredible woman in the interview above, “Hatred eats the soul of the hater not the hated.” A Garden of Eden in Hell: The Life of Alice Herz-Sommer
Alice Herz Sommer, a Czech pianist and a music teacher, is an amazing lady with superb positive outlook in life. She was not only a survivor of the Theresienstadt concentration camp but also remains resolutely optimistic in her whole life. And now at 108 years old, Alice lives by herself in a tiny London flat with no assistance. She still practices piano three hours every day. Alice is truly an inspiration and the best thing I learned from her is, “Everything is a present.” Some may ask, “Even the bad experience?” I truly believe so … there is always something we can learn from our experiences regardless good or bad. As Alice put it best in the video, “I know about the bad, but I look at the good thing.”
