What an incredible woman and what an incredible story! My aunt, at 101, has much the same attitude as this sweet woman. What a blessing to have such people to show the rest of how it's done.
This inspiring video has come into my life at an appropriate time. I will watch it over and over again. The energy from this wonderful woman evaporates from the video and our souls soak it up like a sponge. More people in the world need to know about this woman!!!
I have never expected such a huge viewership of this video. Its about 65,000 views in just 52 days.. Wow what a power of YouTube... Thank you all who visited.... :)
@khojaimran - I am amazed - what inspires her to laugh every day? - i was so depressed and confused as I am during my mood swings. Then I received this link via email from my aunt. Alicia is blessed.. Music is ambrosia to ears.... thank you Khojaimran, Anthony and Alice...
... she soars above the senseless hatred, cruelty and small minded bigotry. A true
inspiration! Yes, " the hater destroys their own soul, not the hated. " To those who disliked, small minds like yours label others into groups to defend your own meager self esteem thinking belittling others is the only way to raise themselves, cowardly fear and herd mentality fueled the evil nazi destruction of
millions blind to the fact we are all one humanity, and
DON'T stop and smell the roses !! Watch this video of Alice first. THEN smell the roses they will smell more beautiful than ever before. Alice is the gift to all. Alice has been a gift to me. May we all have her inspiration and understand. Thank you for bringng it to my attention. What a blessing and joy.
What an amazing woman. Incredibly longevity is one thing, being optimistic, cheerful through a POW camp, recovering from cancer, writing a book and still imparting wisdom is a massive gift. Everything is a present, as she says, and this woman is a gift to us all.
Never seen this before. As a Czech myself this is really moving. As someone who escaped Communism which later came to Czechoslovakia its a telling tale. As someone who has piano players in his family it reminds you of the history of it. The story of the Nazi occupations as well as others needs to be told and retold. She is right the composers of their time, and then what our parents listened to still stirs a lot of emotion in me anyway. Thanks Tony. Awesome that you show this to the rest of us.
Are u kiding? I've lived with em' in new york , London and many countries. and they are murmurers of the highest order. thats why they make such good comedians. it's to cheer them up a little. plus they are not that peaceful as they would have one beleive. stop being so nationalistic --instead, take a good objective view point. the world has moved on --we are not all taken in by all this faldera. wake up to reality.
@49128 You can't wake up to reality with a sour face. The world is cruel, but if you don't make a point to find a positive solution and actually CHANGE the things that upset you so, you are just a glib!! A walking contradiction!
@49128 Well I certainly hope that my aunt ,15 years old did not wine but smiled contently as she was suffocated in her own vomit in the gas chambers in Belzec in tje beautiful spring of 1942 .
She's fortunate that arthritis doesn't keep her from playing, but then again she may have it and spends that three hours a day pushing through it. But even if that's the case, she would only ever mention the fortunate part and not crow about how hard she works.
She's like the perfect anti-Libertarian or anti-Republican.
not like, but LOVE this video- she is an inspiration--i love her very much, and what she gives us, she could easily win for 2nd ghandi in the world---hannah
First of all, 'Shame on the Dislikes!" They could learn a lesson from this wonderful lady who has been given a gift from G-d. To the person who was disappointed that she was not the writer of her book, should she have typed it or hand written it to satisfy your curiosity? She is an inspiration to me no matter what!
Think about the hundreds of thousands of woman and children holocausted in Dresden in only one night (60 000 areal bombs thrown by cowardly British/American killers) ...
No "survivor" there. But millions of Jews surviving the holohoax with their hands open to have all kinds of shekels distributed to them.
Who declared "WAR ON GERMANY" in March 1933. Weren't those the people of her tribe?
Shame on the people who love their holocausted kin?
One statement is very misleading...she didn;t write the book, the book is about her but two writers wrote it...I know because I ordered it and to my disapointment her name as a writer wasn't on the book. I wanted to see how well shoe wrote at the age of 104.
What a wonderful way to live... I have been crying the whole time... such inspiration to all...such sharp mind and such talent and such amazing attitude....from now on I will smile even when I feel like crying.
God Bless You........Thank you the lessons on life and your optimism. Do you have any music for sale that can be downloaded I would love to buy it. I will be looking to get your book on amazon or a book store. :)
A hassidiche mame !! So Amazing. May we have the merit to breath her spirit just as we breath our sages Toras. I'm so amazed. Friends I wish you to be inspired by this creature.Have an enlighted rainy day! Love and blessings.Anaëlia hanah Golda Freidenberg Ben david
I kind of want to give her a hug and just live with her and absorb as many good vibes and as much happiness as I can from her. She is embodiment of perseverance and optimism.
What an amazing atttitude, it's that positivity and optimism that made her survive camp and cancer and live such long and productive life. We all should learn from her.
Alice's spirit lives in all of us, if we give it permisson, to understand the power of thoughts and let the JOY shine. Love,Light and Twinkles to Alice. xxx
An amazing story :-) It's an immense pleasure to hear and watch Alison speak. She is such an inspiration and we love her smile and light hearted attitude, a great testament to the human spirit and what it can accomplish... she is love...
outstanding! the power of the mind and spirit defies physical laws and biology!she´s like wise old "Yoda".Now and then look at her at age 96 in the red dress. At age 108 fully present and aware, cognitive functions and speech, humor - very impressive. It´s all in mind it is taught but tho see this extreme example of abuse and torture of body, mind and soul, yet still she is happy and alive today. She "killed" even the cancer:-)
One of my favorite videos and recently, one of my favorite people. I like to just listen to the video while I am working. Thanks a lot for posting this.
This is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a very long time. I am so inspired. Bless you Miss Alice.
