Alice is truly a remarkable individual. Her life is filled with trials and tribulations that most would not have been able to survive, yet here she is. Caroline Stroessinger, a fellow pianist, interviewed Alice more than a dozen times and compiled this book with her findings. Search for A Century of Wisdom on YouTube to see the magnificent trailer.
Probably the best book ive ever read, and ive read a lot of books, from one pianist to another, what a wonderful woman, an amazing inspiration to all pianists, Alice you really gave me the kick up the ass i needed to continue onto my grade 6 xxx
I love the comment - " Music was our food" It does indeed nourish the soul. It has always brought me to a better place and this woman displays a grace beyond words. She is an example of right living.

dear Alice I am 79 and saw a lot of the horror, That you can still enjoy your music inspires me. I was in Scotland for part of that war I now live in Caada and wonder where the greed stops. ket each country ffight theur ow battles.
I can't believe such a wonderful human being like this has ever lived..but she does. In my mind this woman epitimizes the good of the human spirit and soul.
This great lady has lived a life worth celebrating. To have seen so much hatred and still find love in her heart makes her great. God must surely bless all who seek to live by her example.
I read her story & the things this woman has endured and the atrocities that she has seen one can only imagine. Yet, she's kept a great outlook on life and humanity. And at 107 years old, she moves around better than some half her age! God bless her, she's living proof of just how far a positive attitude can take us.
her little smile at the end made me cry! she is such an inspirational woman. happy birthday, sweetheart. i hope you have a wonderful day. God bless <3 :')
God bless her soul. Those precious hands playing the piano today saw the ravages of war and the inside of a concentration camp. God love her. Thank you, Alice!
I did some deep study of why people think this event never happened. cause like you i found that to be wierd and crazy talk. Well it turns out the chambers that was claim to be gas chambers are not in display at all even though we have a 200mil display in the US. The chambers doors open in both sides with no lock what so ever and opened into the room. No bar windows and lastly the containers they claim that was used to gas the people first of all don't work as gas and was normally used to clean
so don't believe all you see. In Europe you go to jail for even denying that day happened. You are not allowed to question it ever or even debate in schools much like with 9/11. So when you hear some one denying.. They are not denying it totally.. everyone captured was used as a labor force where they may have been work to death.. not saying thast any good either but shame on the jews for learning a way to cash in on an event with charities and guilt trips that gave them israel ..clever basters
@shadowlesswalls What are you accomplishing by discussing such things here?
Youtube as a conversational medium is completely ineffective. Rather than attempting to enlighten individuals to apparent "truths", it's clear that you're posting such comments to anger people.
The very fact that you mentioned such events shows that you missed the entire point of this video.
It was Voltaire who said: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities"
@shadowlesswalls , conspiracy theories and hate-fed theories can have a poisoning effect of receptive minds. People use such theories to control other people.
I know Alice - she is the antidot for such a mind poisoning.
Amazing! This woman is 103 years old and still playing. My mother stopped playing around 85. She couldn't play anymore. This is so beautiful. Thank you Alice!!
What a beautiful, inspirational person! I'm left speechless. Living proof of the power of music and a shining example of someone who clearly loves life.
Does anyone know the name of the piece that plays at the end?
i agree she is and should be an inspiration to all of us who are here today because if it wasnt for hitlers evil rule of parts of europe we would not be such a great world that we are today so tgank you Eliza for being such an inspiration and surviving such terrible things

Note how fast she gets up from the Piano, no effort. She is remarkable, not to mention remembering and playing the song so well.
