Arnold Czempin , also Arnold Chempin or Arnold Cohn Chempin ( May 8, 1887 in Berlin - November 12, 1974 in New York , USA ) was a German actor of the silent film era and doctor of philosophy.
Life
Born into a Protestant family, he began his studies in Munich in 1906 and moved to Berlin. From 1908 he studied art history and classical archeology in Vienna. There he received his doctorate in 1911. His dissertation topic was "Quirin Mark and his work" (Wiener Kupferstecher, 1758–1811). Czempin was also chairman of the Berlin district association of the German Stage Members' Cooperative .
Together with Marie Borchardt , he founded the Protection Association of Stage Members .
From 1916 to 1923 he worked as an actor in over twenty silent films. During this time he was friends with the communist author and director Gustav von Wangenheim and a member of his acting troupe. From around 1930 he was an employee of the communist "Red Block" Berlin.
For political reasons he later emigrated to Tel Aviv , where he became a co-owner of the large lamp shop "Goldschmidt und Schwabe". He also partially financed the magazine "Orient". In Tel Aviv he was known as a “brilliant reciter” who also recited Bertolt Brecht's poems “with fire and enthusiasm”.
After 1945 he emigrated again, this time to the USA, where he died at the age of 87.
