Alice Herz-Sommer, also known as Alice Sommer (26 November 1903 – 23 February 2014), was a Prague-born Jewish pianist, music teacher, and supercentenarian who survived Theresienstadt concentration camp. She lived for 40 years in Israel, before migrating to London in 1986, where she resided until her death, and at the age of 110 was the world's oldest known Holocaust survivor. However, it later emerged that Israel Kristal was over two months older and a Holocaust survivor. Still, this does not change this woman's incredible story of survival or the human-interest value of it.
