Abstract:
Heymann was a Jewish journalist and historical writer from Düsseldorf. He was a writer for the "Vossische Zeitung", and became editor of the "Düsseldorfer Lokalzeitung". In 1933 he fled to the autonomous Saarland, where he and Siegfried Thalheimer published the anti-Nazi periodical "Westland". In 1935, when the Nazis took over the Saarland, he fled first to France and in 1940 to the Netherlands. In Amsterdam he wrote two works about Jews, "Der Chevalier von Geldern" (published in 1963), and the "Marannen-Chronik" (published in 1988 as "Tod oder Taufe; die Vertreibung der Juden aus Spanien und Portugal") which was based on lectures he delivered in Amsterdam. He and his mother went into hiding in the Netherlands, but they were apprehended by the Nazis. She was deported to Theresienstadt and survived; he was murdered in Auschwitz in 1944.
