Stayin’ alive & well: Holocaust survivors’ disco therapy



GOTTA DANCE: Dora Zalcberg, 89, survived a Nazi death camp and says “I’m in heaven” during disco therapy at a Brooklyn community center.

The seniors chillax on beanbag couches and immerse themselves in an interactive environment featuring black lights, a projector beaming psychedelic images on a wall, a “shower curtain” of multi-colored fiber-optic strands and an aromatherapy diffuser that makes the room smell like a trip to The Body Shop.

“I feel like I’m in heaven,” said Dora Zalcberg, 89, who was just 16 in 1939 when she was snatched from her home in Bedzin, Poland, and taken to the Parschnitz concentration camp, where she was spared the gas chamber only because she was a skilled machinist.

Well, if there weren't enough reasons to hate disco... the fact that 90 year-old Jewesses are doing it is all the more reason.
