Alice Herz-Sommer (left as a young woman, and right) who lived in London and was originally from Prague, had been confined in the camp in Terezin, or Theresienstadt (bottom left), in Germany during the Second World War. Ms Herz-Sommer was a talented musician and an adept pianist. She is said to have counted esteemed existentialist writer Franz Kafka among her family friends and, more recently, was the subject of an Oscar-nominated documentary about her life (pictured centre). The Lady In Number 6: Music Saved My Life, a 38-minute film, is up for best short documentary at the Academy Awards to be handed out next weekend.
Rip Alice!
