Alice... You will love her.

I want to share with you the story of Alice, a pianist, a survivor of the holocaust and also a very optimistic woman. She is 106 years old. She is really something.

Sweetheart, indeed!

Alice: "...I never hate...hatred breeds only hatred."

Narrator: Alice Sommer has lived her life without hatred. Nourished by the unquenchable power of music, she remains a beacon of hope and inspiration to everyone who knows her.

Alice: "I was born with a very, very good optimism; and this helps you. When you are optimistic, when you are not complaining, when you look at the good side of our lives, everybody loves you."

Alice: "Only when we are so old, only then, do we become aware of the beauty of life."

In November 2010 she was to celebrate her 107th birthday. I'm hoping she's still with us. :)
