Heinrich Neumann von Héthárs

Heinrich Neumann Ritter von Héthárs (10 June 1873, in Héthárs (Lipany), then Hungary, now Slovakia – 6 November 1939, in New York City) was the foremost ear-nose-and-throat doctor in Vienna before World War II. In 1938 he transmitted to the Evian Conference the infamous offer by the German government to sell the Austrian Jews at a price of $250 per capita to any foreign country that would accept them and pay. This offer - and the Conference delegates' refusal to accept it - is the focal point of Hans Habe's novel ''The Mission'' (1965). Provided by Wikipedia
