A talented pianist from a very early age, she became famous throughout Europe; but, as the Nazis rose to power, her world crumbled. In 1942, her mother was deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp and vanished. In 1943, Alice, her husband and their six-year-old son were sent there, too. In the midst of horror, music, especially Chopin's \u003ci\u003eEtudes,\u003c\/i\u003e was Alice's salvation. Theresienstadt was a \"show camp\", a living slice of Nazi propaganda created to convince outsiders that the Jews were being treated humanely. In more than a hundred concerts, Alice gave her fellow prisoners hope in a time of suffering. Written with the cooperation of Alice Herz-Sommer, Melissa Müller and Reinhard Piechocki's \u003ci\u003eAlice's Piano\u003c\/i\u003e is the first time her story has been told. At 107 years old, she continues to play her piano in London and bring hope to many.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129431441648,"sku":"9781466801929","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466801929_p0.jpg?v=1769890793","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466801929","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
