Life
Adolf Grünhut received his artistic training before the turn of the century and then worked for several decades at the Frankfurt Opera as first tenor in the choir until the Nazis came to power .
Although he was Jewish , the employment relationship was initially maintained. “Immediately after the Second World War , his widow declared that Grünhut had been called to the theater on October 30, 1933. One day later she found him sitting in a miserable condition in front of the front door, with "a shameful caricature on his back" . Grünhut died on November 1, 1933, severely affected both mentally and physically by this humiliation. "
