עזריאל גינציג

Ezriel Guenzig (1868-1931), scholar, born in Krakow, Poland (then part of the Austrian Empire). He received a rabbinic education in his native Krakow and his secular education at the universities of Berlin and Berne. He then served as rabbi in Dresnitz and Lostice. After World War I he settled in Antwerp where he headed the Tahkemoni school and later became a bookseller. Guenzig's scholarly work dealt largely with the history of the Jewish Enlightenment (Haskala) in Galicia but he wrote on many other topics and edited scholarly journals.
