Pianist Alice Herz-Sommer reflects on her long life that encapsulates a century
Pianist Alice Herz-Sommer reflects on her long life that encapsulates the story of a century. Born into a musical Jewish family in Prague, the Nazis put an end to her concert career. Alice and her son Raphael, a cellist, survived the Holocaust and moved first to Israel, then London. Now 104, she still leads an active life, filled with music and studies. Presented by Judi Herman.
