Hans Mossel

Henri Emile "Hans" Mossel (Amsterdam, 24 December 1905 – Auschwitz, German-occupied Poland, 4 August 1944) was a Dutch clarinetist and saxophonist.

He was the son of a well-known Dutch cellist Isaäc Mossel (Rotterdam, 1870 – Amsterdam, 1923) and pianist Jeannette Belinfante (1868-1925).

On the basis of a trumped-up case of sabotage Hans Mossel was sent on 9 March 1944 to the Westerbork transit camp.

[7] Monowitz was set up at the request of the chemical factory IG Farben to provide slave labour.

[8][9] There is a short biography of Mossel written by Herman Openneer (1935-2017), one of the founders of the Dutch Jazz Archive.
