The Polish pianist Marian Filar was held in seven different Nazi camps, escaping the gas chambers on one occasion only because he could not walk there unaided.

He migrated to the US in 1950 and settled in Philadelphia where he made a good career and taught at two universities.

He died, aged 94, in 2012.
