Pau Casals, ca. 1939  As a dedicated democrat, the Catalan cellist Pau Casals i Defilló (1876–1973) refuses to perform in Germany after Hitler's seizure of power. Since the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, he has been living in exile in southern France. With his visit to Évian, he expresses his solidarity with refugees from the Hitler regime.
