Rosalee Glass survived the holocaust, labor camps and the tragic loss of three children. After her beloved husband of 60 years passed in 1996 and, shortly thereafter her third child, she was devastated and didn't want to go on. Literally one day she woke up and decided to live the rest of her life to the fullest. In her 80s, she took piano lessons, tai chi, boxing, tango dancing, swimming, French and acting.
