Walter Heuman began playing the violin in high school and continued to play throughout his college years, residency, and practice as an ENT specialist. Walter and his wife Ruth were arrested in 1942, and interned at several camps. Upon being liberated in Dachau, Walter was given this violin by an American GI and resumed his playing. After returning with Ruth, they lived in a DP camp in Kempton, Germany. Walter continued playing the same violin after immigrating to the United States in 1947, and establishing a practice in Pavilion, New York.
