Inspired by “The Lady in Number 6”(At the time this was filmed, she was the oldest living Holocaust survivor at 109.)

Music saved her-

Gave her hope-

Filled her soul with “peace, beauty, and love.”

Music gave her strength to live another day.

“Music is a dream…” she said.

Artist, mother, pianist-

persecuted for being a Jew.

Music sustained her, was a lifeline

In a world gone mad.

“Music, music, music – it’s all that matters.”

With Chopin’s etudes etched in her mind-

Music flowed from her fingers to

Sustain her,  give her life, laughter

And strength to endure.
