Harry Hasso (Born as Karl Hartnagel) was born in Germany in Frankenthal 1904. He worked in Sweden and Germany as a cameraman and also wrote some of the music and manuscripts for some of the films he made. He learned to play the violin from gypsies despite being forbidden to visit them by his parents. He started his career in Luxembourg after finishing school. He made many movies and at least 100 documentary films among them films about his home Country and home town. Sadly all the documentaries he made have been missing since World War II.
