Leo Rosner
Leopold Rosner (26 June 1918 – 10 October 2008) was a Polish-born Australian musician. Rosner, who was Jewish, survived the Holocaust in Nazi concentration camps during World War II by playing his accordion for Nazi officials. This earned the attention of Oskar Schindler, who saved his life by having him placed on his famous list. His story became known after Thomas Keneally's 1982 novel, Schindler's Ark, was adapted into Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List. He appeared in the epilogue of the film at the Schindler's grave on Mount Zion.
