On the evening 8 September 2008 in Moscow, after a long illness Miliza
Genrichovna Neuhaus, mathematician and researcher at the Lebedev
Institute in Moscow and daughter of Heinrich Neuhaus passed away. Miliza
Neuhaus came frequently to Italy and in April 2005 was the guest of the
Associazione Culturale "Fondazione Neuhaus". In particular we would like
to remember the article she wrote for the Italian edition of her father’s
autobiography, “The Arrest of Henrich Gustavovic Neuhaus". H. Neuhaus" was
arrested during the Second World War because of his German surname which had
automatically given rise to suspicion of his collaboration with the enemy.
Miliza Neuhaus was
helping with the new complete edition of the literary heredity of
her father to be published by the Moscow publishers DEKA
BC of
the Glinka State Museum. The first two volumes of the work
have already been published while another two – of which she had been as
usual the careful editor – dealing with the memories of friends and pupils
of the master and his letters were at an advanced stage of preparation. The
last public appearance of Miliza was at the concert to commemorate the 120th
anniversary of the birth of Neuhaus, which she attended as she did every
other event dedicated to Neuhaus or Richter.
We wish to express our deep sadness for the loss of a dear friend who has
always supported the activities of the Association dedicated to the Maestro
Neuhaus.
