Shalom Safranim, FROM HELL TO PARADISE a documentary by Michael Teutch
She experienced and witnessed most of the significant events of the 20th century: World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, and the Holocaust, the Liberation, Communism and the birth of Israel. This week at the age of 110 Alice Sommer passed away - the oldest Holocaust survivor. This amazing woman's life is lovingly presented in FROM HELL TO PARADISE. This film documents what makes Alice Sommer so special, and how the spirit of music shaped and inspired her life; how the music helped her to survive the ghetto and Theresienstadt. How she was able to recover mentally and physically from the loss of her family. Brought up in Prague; educated in German culture; living and working in Israel for 37 years, she followed her son to London where she died this week. Already purchased by several leading universities libraries, as well as by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, you can read more about the film and watch a trailer at <http://www.ruthfilms.com/from-hell-to-paradise.html> http://www.ruthfilms.com/from-hell-to-paradise.html and to learn more about Alice Sommer at <http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/23/us-holocaust-survivor-britain-dea th-idUSBREA1M13K20140223> http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/23/us-holocaust-survivor-britain-deat h-idUSBREA1M13K20140223 This film would be a wonderful addition to your film collection / course and we look forward to seeing your order soon.
