AMANPOUR: And finally tonight, we imagine a life lived in music despite death defying odds. Zuzana Ruzickova. She died Wednesday, age 90. She was a music lover from childhood. She became one of the world's best harpsichord players.</s>AMANPOUR: Zuzana loved Bach and she said that she could hear the presence of God in high notes, but she almost didn't live to play them. She was born in Czechoslovak. When the Nazis invaded in 1939, she managed to survive, not one but three concentration camps. First her family was sent to Terezin. Her father was killed there. Then she and her mother were transferred to Auswitch where she endured slave labor and she was on the list to be gassed, but was sent to her third concentration camp Bergen Belsen. After the war, she began all over again. It was long laborious struggle to rebuild her talents because after the Nazis, Soviet communists invaded Czechoslovakia and they didn't like the harpsichord. But she won international competitions and she became the first musician to record all of Bach works for the keyboard. A heroine indeed for our times. That is it for our program tonight. And remember you can always listen to our podcast, see us online at Amanpour.com and follow me on Facebook and Twitter. Thanks for watching and goodbye from London. END
