At 109, Alice Herz Sommer is the world’s oldest pianist…and its oldest Holocaust survivor. At the heart of her remarkable story of courage and endurance is her passion for music.
“I would be completely disingenuous if I didn’t say the only thing that winning an Oscar makes you feel is you want to win another Oscar. They are totally addictive. It’s an acknowledgement by an audience of your peers that you are doing something right. I have no idea whether we will carry the day and win another one. It’s great to be nominated. I’m stunned that we got this far. A tiny little film, made for no money about a little old lady in London and we have a shot at an Academy Award, it’s pretty amazing.”
