Cellist and Holocaust survivor turns 100
Anita Lasker-Wallfisch is celebrating her 100th birthday on Thursday 17th July 2025 and a concert in her honour is being staged at London's Wigmore Hall.
A few days before her birthday - and before the King paid her a personal visit at her home in north London - Anita spoke to Nick Robinson about playing the cello in the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz, and her life after the end of the war.
