My uncle, Curt Prerauer,(by marriage),left Germany in the 30's after persecution for being Jewish. He lost employment,even though he was very well regarded for his playing,piano and organ, and voice coaching. Winifred Wagner was personally involved in terminating his time at Bayreuth.
He was friends with Strauss before leaving Germany,and emigrating to Australia. After the war,he continued to correspond with Strauss,and had no problems with Strauss politically or with his decision to stay in Germany.
There is a problem with the link.But if you click on it,and enter Curt Prerauer in Search,you'll find the information.
