Question: Was Albert Camus or Oscar Hammerstein II born first?
Context: Oscar Hammerstein I (8 May 18461 August 1919) was a German-born businessman, theater impresario, and composer in New York City.  His passion for opera led him to open several opera houses, and he rekindled opera's popularity in America.  He was the grandfather of American lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II and the father of theater manager William Hammerstein and American producer Arthur Hammerstein. Oscar Greeley Clendenning Hammerstein II ( ; July 12, 1895 – August 23, 1960) was an American librettist, theatrical producer, and (usually uncredited) theatre director of musicals for almost forty years.  Hammerstein won eight Tony Awards and two Academy Awards for Best Original Song.  Many of his songs are standard repertoire for vocalist's and jazz musicians.  He co-wrote 850 songs.  Hammerstein was the lyricist and playwright in his partnerships; his collaborators wrote the music.  Hammerstein collaborated with numerous composers, such as Jerome Kern, with whom he wrote "Show Boat", Vincent Youmans, Rudolf Friml, Richard A. Whiting and Sigmund Romberg; but he is best known for his collaborations with Richard Rodgers, as the duo Rodgers and Hammerstein which include "Oklahoma! ", "Carousel", "South Pacific", "The King and I", and "The Sound of Music". Herbert Lottman (August 16, 1927, Brooklyn - August 27, 2014, Paris) was an American author who specialized in writing biographies on French subjects.  An influential biographer, he published 17 biographies, 15 of which were related to French culture, commerce, or politics; including works on Albert Camus, Colette, Gustave Flaubert, Henri Philippe Pétain, Jules Verne, and the Rothschild banking family of France.  He wrote that, just before dying, Albert Camus was pledged to marry.  Camus's estate tried to block his book, partly because of this controversial statement. The Oscar Hammerstein Award for Lifetime Achievement in Musical Theatre is named in honor of American lyricist and librettist Oscar Hammerstein, who helped shape American theater music through his collaborations with a number of different composers and writers.  The award was created in 1988 by Janet Hayes Walker, the Founding Artistic Director of The York Theatre Company, and is presented with the endorsement of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization and the Hammerstein family.  The Oscar Hammerstein Award Gala is the major annual fundraising event of The York, a mainstay of the Off-Broadway scene for more than 45 years. Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella is an original cast album of the first Broadway production of the musical "Cinderella", with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and a book by Douglas Carter Beane based partly on Hammerstein's 1957 book.  The story is based upon the fairy tale Cinderella, particularly the French version "Cendrillon, ou la Petite Pantoufle de Vair", by Charles Perrault.  The production opened in 2013.  In Beane's plot, Cinderella opens Prince Topher's eyes to the injustice in the kingdom. Marcel J. Mélançon is a Canadian philosopher and scientist.  He was born in Saint-Barnabé, Quebec, in 1938, and is mostly known for his book on the French philosopher Albert Camus "Albert Camus, An Analysis of his thought" (Albert Camus.  Analyse de sa pensée).  He has mostly worked together with the biologist Richard D. Lambert. Albert Camus (] ; 7 November 1913 – 4 January 1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist.  His views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism.  He wrote in his essay "The Rebel" that his whole life was devoted to opposing the philosophy of nihilism while still delving deeply into individual freedom.  He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957. The Fall (French: La Chute ) is a philosophical novel by Albert Camus.  First published in 1956, it is his last complete work of fiction.  Set in Amsterdam, "The Fall" consists of a series of dramatic monologues by the self-proclaimed "judge-penitent" Jean-Baptiste Clamence, as he reflects upon his life to a stranger.  In what amounts to a confession, Clamence tells of his success as a wealthy Parisian defense lawyer who was highly respected by his colleagues; his crisis, and his ultimate "fall" from grace, was meant to invoke, in secular terms, The Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden.  "The Fall" explores themes of innocence, imprisonment, non-existence, and truth.  In a eulogy to Albert Camus, existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre described the novel as "perhaps the most beautiful and the least understood" of Camus' books. Oscar Hammerstein II Farm, also known as the Highland Farm, is a historic home and farm in Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  The farmhouse was built in 1840, and is a three-story, three bay, stuccoed masonry residence with a hipped roof.  It features a one-story wraparound porch.  A decorative balustrade was added in 1954.  Also on the property is a contributing bank barn.  Lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960) purchased the farm in 1940 and died there on August 23, 1960. Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella is a musical in two acts with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and a book by Douglas Carter Beane based partly on Hammerstein's 1957 book.  The story is based upon the fairy tale "Cinderella", particularly the French version "Cendrillon, ou la Petite Pantoufle de Verre", by Charles Perrault.  The story concerns a young woman forced into a life of servitude by her cruel stepmother, who dreams of a better life.  With the help of her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella is transformed into an elegant young lady and is able to attend the ball to meet her Prince, but, in this version, she must open the Prince's eyes to the injustice in his kingdom.
