"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

The Lady in Number Six

Alice Herz-Sommer was known for her grace and wisdom. The 109-year-old, [who passed away in 2014] was the oldest living pianist and Holocaust survivor, and undoubtedly one of the most inspirational people in the world. "Despite everything she's been through, Herz-Sommer insists that she's never hated the Nazis and never will. "I have lived through many wars and have lost everything many times -- including my husband, my mother and my beloved son," she says on the [documentary 'The Lady in Number 6'] website. "Yet, life is beautiful, and I have so much to learn and enjoy. I have no space nor time for pessimism and hate.""
