DETROIT (AP) " An 89-year-old Holocaust survivor has fulfilled her longtime wish to sing the U.S. national anthem at a Major League Baseball game. Hirsch has been singing the anthem for years during Holocaust survivor meetings in the Detroit area. Hermina Hirsch sang Saturday at Comerica Park in Detroit before the Detroit Tigers played Tampa Bay. According to her granddaughter, Andrea Hirsch, Hermina Hirsch and her older sister were shuffled between five concentration camps, including Auschwitz. She was 17 when her family was split up and sent to concentration camps in 1944.
