The Austrian-born composer Hans Gal was one of many Jewish refugees who fled to Britain from Hitler鈥檚 Third Reich only to find themselves interned as 鈥渆nemy aliens鈥�. Gal spent five months over the summer of 1940 in internment camps and kept a diary during this captivity 鈥� a vivid account of personal survival and creativity. This diary has just been translated into English and published for the first time. Tom talks to Gal鈥檚 daughter Eva Fox-Gal who worked on the translation and to the writer and record producer Michael Haas about the composer鈥檚 life and music in Austria and the UK.
