Warschauer, Malwin, 1871-1955

Malwin Warschauer was born in 1871 in Kanth, Lower Silesia, (today Kąty Wrocławskie, Poland), to the family of a timber merchant. He studied at the Hochschule für die Wissenschaft des Judentums in Berlin, which he later headed, and then served as a rabbi from circa 1900-1945. Biographical notes from his son indicate that he worked primarily in the Neue Synagoge in Berlin during the period 1900-1939, and thereafter was active in England. He emigrated to Woking, Surrey, England, at which time he changed his forename to Malvin. He died in England in 1957.
