Assumptions about the person

It is believed that Emil Arnold-Holm is a Jewish author who may have been born in Bucovina in 1911 . This assumption is based on the fact that Arnold-Holm's works were intended for a Bukovina anthology by A. Kittner. Another theory sees Arnold-Holm as the Vienna- born brother of the composer Leo Ascher , Arnold Ascher. He was also a composer and chairman of a B'nai B'rith lodge in Vienna and died there in 1938 in a Gestapo prison .

Arnold-Holm worked in Vienna in the 1930s as a poet, aphorist, columnist for the New Vienna Journal and book critic.

In 1955, an anthology volume, Dein Herz ist seine Heimat , was published, in which the poems of Arnold-Holm were represented and it was stated that it was about a young Austrian author who was killed in one of the first pogroms in Vienna in 1938.

In 1969 Arnold-Holm-Gasse in Vienna- Favoriten was named after the poet.
