As I read this, I was amazed by Alice’s ability to remain so positive in the face of all she had endured in her life. I was also surprised by some of her descriptions of life in the concentration camps - how she described some of it didn’t sound as bad as other accounts I have heard. Perhaps that is another example of her positivity - maybe the bad aspects didn’t stand out for her as long as she had the ability to make music.
This attitude carried on into other parts of her life - she moved countries to build a new post-war life, she didn’t bemoan getting older. She was truly an extraordinary woman!
