What I would give to have been able to sit in the room with her and just let her talk...for hours. Can't even imagine the amount of wisdom she had, and tales of all that she has seen.

My thoughts exactly when I see these stories. Can you imagine?
She survived 2 years in a [Western labeled] "death" camp
Think about that for a second
"An estimated 140,000 Jews were sent to Terezin and 33,430 died there. About 88,000 were moved on to Auschwitz and other death camps, where most of them were killed. Herz-Sommer and her son, Stephan, were among fewer than 20,000 who were freed when the notorious camp was liberated by the Soviet army in May 1945."

Don't be a fool.
15% survival rate is not a "Death Camp". More along the lines of the German POWs who made it back home from Stalin's gulags

Well, in the US we have something called "death row" where convicted criminals face the death penalty ... and yet in a few cases there are some who manage to be pardoned or are found innocent and escape execution. So, maybe we shouldn't call it "death row" but "maybe death row."
Another thing: if the concentration camp in question was designed to exterminate all those people in there whether by gas or some other methods but it was liberated just in time so that some of the inmates did not face their final demise, does that take away the purpose of the camp to be factory of death?
In other words, if the Nazis were not defeated there would have been no survivors.
