She was also a Holocaust survivor. She describes her relationship with music, its beauty, it’s ability to give hope.
“Only when we are so old. Only! We are aware of the beauty of life.”

I never hate and I will never hate. Hatred breeds only hatred.
– Alice Herz Sommer
It depends on me whether life is good or not. On me. Not on life. On me. Everything is good and bad. I look at the good side.
– Alice Herz Sommer
