Hans Heller (born in 1898) was a composer of classical music. He fled Nazi Germany in 1933 to France. Following France's occupation, he was first taken to an internment camp and then made to do forced labour in Organization Todt. Heller was warned of his imminent deportation to Auschwitz by a member of the SS and escaped, surviving in a Resistance hiding place until the end of the occupation. His persecution by the Nazis resulted in his compositions being unheard until the 21st century when they were rediscovered by pianist and musicologist Prof. Dr. Jascha Nemtsov.[1]
