Interview with 108 year old Alice Herz Sommer

[HORIZONS]

A very inspiring story.


As we embark on 2012, we felt it was timely to share with you a compelling video interview conducted by Tony with Alice Herz Sommer, a 108 year old survivor of the Nazi concentration camps. Despite the immense stress Alice suffered in her life she followed a simple but profound philosophy which she believes contributes to her healthy and happy life today. Enjoy this story and we hope you gain inspiration and insight into a truly remarkable life and attitude.

I would love to have a cup of tea or sherry with this charming wise lady and just sit back and listen to her happy approach to life. Bless her cotton socks - she is quite amazing!

Wow thanks, very inspiring!

[HORIZONS]

Wow thanks, very inspiring!

You are very welcome! I thought an inspiring story would be good for the soul, as the "what's wrong in the world" stories get very tiring, and I know that I could use a "what's right in the world" story to balance things out a bit - and thought others might enjoy this as well. It's not all bad - and most of the time it is only our perspective that needs to change.
Peace~

Wow, I absolutely loved this. My grandfather was 105 when he passed and our great grandmother a few months short of 107. They were both very independent and believed in hard work. Thank you Horizons :)

Thank you Caren for sharing - You would be most welcome to share any stories of your Grandfather and Great Grandmother on here if you would like to, as it seems that the timeless wisdom of our elders is being lost in the quagmire of our modern age.

Can't thank you enough for sharing this. Sometimes the thing that makes me most happy is having this wonderful thing called the internet that will, eventually unite us all, as we always should have been. We can now all have personal knowledge of true human greatness - which is exactly what this wonderful woman brings to us. What an inspiration!

Wow! What a lady!

She reminds me of the movie 'La Vita è Bella', about a sheer optimist. He and his family got caught in a concentration camp. In order to survive he uses his wit and optimism.

Just a peak:
