ABOUT NATALIA KARP

Concert musician and Holocaust survivor who had a successful performing career well into her nineties.

She and her sister were spared from death in the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp after she impressed Nazi commandant Amon Göth with her interpretation of Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor.

She gained political asylum in London after the war and eventually joined the Krakow Philharmonic. She once gave a concert honoring Oskar Schindler , the savior of many Jews

Her first husband, lawyer Julius Hubler, did not approve of her performing career. He was killed around 1943 in a bomb raid.

She was trained by Artur Schnabel in the late 1920s.
