Alice Herz-Sommer

Despite being 108, Holocaust & Cancer survivor Alice Herz Sommer still practices piano 3 hours each day. She lives by herself in a small flat in London. When she was (only) 104, she had a book written about her life which was entitled “A Garden Of Eden In Hell.”

Alice has survived the concentration camps and thrived by way of her music, her optimism and her gratitude for the small things that came her way – a smile, a kind word, the sun. When asked about the secret of her longevity, Alice says: “I look where it is good.” Alice is a remarkable lady.
