    Alice Herz-Sommer, believed to be the oldest Holocaust survivor, died at age 110 on Sunday, a family member said. The accomplished pianist's death came just a week before her extraordinary story of surviving two years in a Nazi prison camp through devotion to music and her son is up for an Oscar.

    Thanks for posting the link. For some reason I cannot copy and paste here but can everywhere else. Ummmm, some type of glitch or compatibility issue.
