| Historical | Lived in Harbin, then Shanghai, then Hong Kong. He served as a provincial high court judge in Shanghai. His daughter (Anna) graduated from law school at Oriental University in Harbin in 1933. In 1935, she became the secretary of the International League for Cultural Cooperation in Shanghai. After WWII, she and her two children moved to the Sydney suburb of Lindfield. She is mentioned in many books and she, herself, edited books and papers. She is buried in Macquarie Park Cemetery.
Maria (b. March 10, 1877, Minsk; d. April 26, 1972, Sydney) is also buried in Macquarie Park Cemetery. In 1963, she lived at 28 Lugar Street, Waverly, NSW. Grandson Bob Frenkel wrote on September 30, 2020: “My grandfather had been a top law student at university, but in view of anti-Jewish prejudice had not been permitted to practice law. He was learned in Judaism, Hebrew and Latin, and in fact taught me the passages from the Torah to read at my bar mitzvah in 1952, at Ohel Leah Synagogue. I remember that the rabbi (Raymond Eleazer) came to our house before my bar mitzvah to check that I could correctly recite the required passages. Apparently I could; my grandfather had done a good job teaching me.” |
