世界上已知年齡最大的二戰(zhàn)大屠殺幸存者愛麗絲·赫茲·薩默2月23日在倫敦去世。赫茲?薩默出生在布拉格的一個猶太家庭里,她曾被送入現(xiàn)位于捷克境內(nèi)的泰雷津納粹集中營,在那里度過兩年時光。以下是BBC記者Vincent Down 發(fā)回的報道:
Alice Herz-Sommer had to face some of the worst events of the 20th Century: her husband died in the Dachau concentration camp. But she remained an optimist with a faith in humankind.
Born in 1903, she knew the writer Franz Kafka as a family friend.
Alice was taught piano: when she played, she said, she was with God. At Theresienstadt she was allowed to play still, which made her think the camp would not be so bad.
She was lucky to get out alive with her young son. Stephan, she said, had helped her survive.
Alice Herz-Sommer: "Love! When you love somebody it's beautiful. People complain. Why complain?"
