"Without music, I wouldn't be alive."  —George Horner

Yo-Yo Ma and George Horner

Yo-Yo Ma joined ninety-year-old survivor and pianist George Horner in a historic performance of songs by Karel Svenk which Dr. Horner had performed seventy years ago as a prisoner in Terezin. Video from NBC Nightly News captures the story.

George Horner "is a window into a slice of history that we never want to see again." 
—Yo-Yo Ma

"To have transcended the most horrible thing and to be able to be positive . . . is the great testament to the human spirit."
