Aron Israel Brimann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aron Israel Brimann (pseudonym: Dr. Justus ), also August Briemann , Aaron Briman (s) , Justus-Brimann ; (* June 15, 1859 in Doline, Costinasti district, Bottoschau province in Romania; † March 7, 1934 in Berlin under the name Aron Gerechter ) was a Romanian Jew who was baptized as a Protestant in Berlin in 1881 and converted to Catholicism a few years later . Brimann became known as the author of an anti-Semitic work ( Judenspiegel ) and as a brief advisor to Jakob Ecker and August Rohling .

Life

"Justus-Briman" published his pamphlet Der Judenspiegel anonymously in 1883 in the Bonifacius print shop in Paderborn , repeating the well-known "Talmud quotation" forgeries. When a daily newspaper in Münster printed excerpts, the editor responsible was brought to trial. A Dr. Jakob Ecker offered himself as an "expert" without having any basic knowledge of Hebrew or even Talmudic. He let Briman write the “expert opinion” himself (“ The Judenspiegel and the Truth ”) and published Briman's “Judenspiegel” under his own name (“ The Hundred Laws of the Jewish Catechism ”), for which he received a professorship. He immediately recommended Briman to others - to August Rohling in Austria as a "consultant" for his Talmudic "material". However, this collaboration did not last long.

In 1885 Briman was sentenced to imprisonment and expulsion from the country for forgery in Vienna.

Franz Delitzsch in Leipzig called Briman's Talmud "translation" "a work of infernal lie", Prof. Gustav Bickell from Innsbruck "a dodgy industrial knight "
