Leopold (Leo) Smit (Amsterdam, 14 May 1900 - Sobibór, 30 April 1943) was a Dutch composer and pianist of Portugese-Jewish descent. Smit studied piano at the Conservatory of Amsterdam with Sem Dresden and Ulfert Schults, and composition with Bernard Zweers and (again) Sem Dresden. In 1927 he moved to Paris, where the music of Maurice Ravel and Igor Stravinsky made a great impression on him. Ten years later he moved back to Amsterdam. Being Jewish, Smit was deported to Sobibór on April 27 1943. T
