'Alice Dancing Under the Gallows'
There's a new documentary about Alice Sommer Herz, the musician and now the world's oldest Holocaust survivor. She's about to turn 107. I've blogged the trailer - please watch it. http://standpointmag.co.uk/node/3550
This link was mentioned today on ABCFM Australia's classical music station by Emma,announcer(and cellist).I was moved and inspired by Alice's wit, zest and beautiful philosophy of life despite her war experiences - not a trace of bitterness but a sunny and captivating heart, a luminous talent and a growing circle of friends and admirers.Happy "Best" Birthday, Alice. From Miranda,Adelaide.
Thank you for making us aware of this remarkable lady. The WORLD needs more of her, and her beautiful attitude. What an amazing woman, I would love to meet her and just listen to her speak. Cannot wait for the movie to come out.
