Obituary: Alice Herz-Sommer, died at age 110, oldest living Pianist and Holocaust survivor

First, before today's current event, I want to post the best question from our current event discussion last night (recap: what is the best question a judge could ask to determine whether the parents or girl are telling the truth). Best question was: To the parents, have you changed your alarm system? Please feel free to email me or comment below on what was the best question from your discussion!

Today's Article: Alice Herz-Sommer died last week at 110. She was the oldest living pianist and Holocaust survivor. Her incredible story, made into a documentary, just won a 2014 Oscar for Best Short Documentary, "The Lady in Number 6." Click here for the movie's trailer.
Ms. Herz-Sommer was born in Prague. She had 4 siblings, including a twin sister and was known as Gigi. She began learning piano at age 6 was a notable concert pianist by age 16. Her family lost all their fortune in WWI and suffered great deprivation. She married Leopold Sommer, a violinist, had a son, and was quite happy, when the Holocaust came. Her husband died in Germany. She was imprisoned in Terezin with her 6 year old son. She survived in part because she was a pianist and played concerts at the camp. After the war, she moved to Israel and taught music, as well as performed. Her son, Raphael, became a virtuoso cellist. They moved together to London in 1986, where he performed and taught. He died at the age of 64. She lived the rest of her life in London, swam every day, attended philosophy classes, and attributed her long life to her optimism and music. (She said pessimists have too much tension in their bodies, so they die earlier). She said the most important lesson she learned in life is to know the difference between what is important and what is not important. She is survived by two grandsons, David and Ariel Sommer.
