Alma Rosé (1906-1944) was an Austrian violinist of Jewish descent. Her uncle was the composer Gustav Mahler. She was deported by the Nazis to the concentration camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. For ten months, she directed an orchestra of prisoners who played as prisoners went to work and then when they returned home. She's aged 14 in the pic. She died, aged 37, of a sudden illness at the camp, possibly food poisoning.
