Mara, I got home and checked all of my Jewish music references. Heiden is mentioned in Arthur Holde's 1974 "Jews in Music" as having escaped Germany in 1935. He was a student of Hindemith and even in 1933, the first year of Nazi rule, he received the Mendelssohn Prize for composition at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik.
BTW - I will be giving the last of a series of 3 multimedia lectures on Jewish music in Albuquerque this coming Sunday. The topic is music at Terezin. Anyone interested in attending, please contact me off-list.
