I heard about the death of a French pianist, Alexis Weissenberg over the radio on my way back home today. I googled the news, and found his interesting life story that his music talent saved him and his mother from the WW2 concentration camp. While one could make a case of this as revealing the power of music that touched the German guard, I would rather take it as a good case in which luck saved the human race a talented mind.
