Put this in the “no dry eyes” column.

Hermina Hirsch is a Holocaust survivor who was interned in a Polish ghetto at the age of 17, and shuffled around among concentration camps afterward — including the notorious Auschwitz death camp, where 1.1 million prisoners were killed, about 90% of them Jews.  She was liberated on 21 April 1945.

She married Bernard Hirsch in 1947, and they moved to Detroit in 1953 after immigrating to America.

On a lovely Saturday in April 2016, the 89-year-old realized one of her “bucket list” dreams: singing the  “Star-Spangled Banner” to open a Detroit Tigers game in Comerica Park.

May America never cease being the nation where dreams come true.
