Obituary: Otto Hutter, Austrian-born scientist who demonstrated how heartbeat worked

Updated Prof Otto Hutter came to the UK via the Kindertransport We record with deep regret the death of Otto Hutter, Emeritus Regius Professor of Physiology at Glasgow University, at his home in Bournemouth. Born in 1924 in Vienna, he was 96. Growing up in a Jewish family, Otto enjoyed a happy childhood in Vienna. His family lived on the Lilienbrunngasse, a street in the Leopoldstadt area, very near the Danube with the city centre beyond. Normal life was shattered after March 1938 by the Anschluss, Hitler’s annexation of Austria. However, aged just 14, Otto was to become one of the very last children with no personal connections in the UK permitted to escape Vienna through the Kindertransport. He was number 359 of 360 children put on the train to reach Britain: he kept the numbered ticket all his life. Within just a few years, some 493 Jewish men, women and children from just this one street were to die in the Holocaust, including nearly all Otto’s family.
