Hermina Hirsch had but one wish on her bucket list: to sing our National Anthem at Comerica Park in Detroit prior to a Detroit Tigers game. This weekend, her wish came true.

Hirsch grew up in what was then Czechoslovakia. In 1944, at the age of 17, she was taken to a Concentration Camp in Nazi Germany. She was shuttled to as many as five camps, including the infamous Auschwitz, before being liberated by Allied troops in January 1945.

Hirsch moved to America, landing in Detroit 60 years ago, where she lived in the suburb of Southfield. She loves to sing and would often sing the Anthem before Holocaust survivor gatherings.

Earlier this year, she made it be known that she wanted to sing before a Tigers game, and her family posted a video of her 'auditioning' by singing the anthem from her home.

That video eventually got the Tigers' attention, and they invited her out Saturday to sing before their game with Tampa.

The result was emotional for many fans, mainly because of her back story.

“This one brought me to tears,” Eva Strzelewicz wrote on the Tigers’ Facebook page. “You could see it in her eyes and hear it in her voice that she was so very happy, what a beautifully moving performance. Thank you to the Tigers organization for allowing us to witness Mrs. Hirsch having her dream fulfilled.

Was Hirsch nervous singing in front of so many people? Not really. "If I lived through the concentration camp, it couldn't be THAT bad."
