Life

Henrich Sliosberg came from a Lubavitch - Hasidic family. His father Schaja-Boruch Sliosberg came from Nalibaki , studied in the yeshiva in Mir and married Esfir Nochim-Dawidowna Oschmjanska. When Henrich was one year old, his father got a Melamed position in Poltava , so the family moved there. His mother's family, whose father was also Melamed, already lived there. Henrich received traditional Jewish education in the cheder . 1875-1882 he attended high school in Poltava. He then studied at the law faculty of the University of St. Petersburg , graduating in 1886. He now deepened his studies at the universities of Heidelberg , Leipzig and Lyon . After his return he passed the examination for the Magister of Criminal Law at the University of St. Petersburg in 1889 .

In 1893, Sliosberg was admitted as a sworn attorney , but not confirmed under the Law of 1889 Restricting the Rights of Jews , so that he could only work as a paralegal. Not until 1904 was he confirmed as a lawyer. In 1906, the new Prime Minister Stolypin hired him as legal advisor to the economic department of the Interior Ministry in St. Petersburg . As assistant to the senior procurator and senior secretary of the GI Trachtenberg cassation department , he also processed complaints to the governing senate .

Since the promulgation of the law restricting the rights of Jews in 1889, Sliosberg campaigned for the rights of Jews in the Russian Empire . He examined the legal and economic situation of the Jewish population and published under the pseudonym Uleinikow Lev Binstoks materials on the Jewish colonies in the governorates of Kherson and Yekaterinoslav . He participated in the work of the Commission of the United States Congress to Investigate the Reasons for the Emigration of Jews from Russia, as well as in the work of the All-Russian Rabbinical Commission in 1894, and he participated in the Congress of Jewish Parties in Kaunas in 1909. After the pogrom in Chisinau in 1903, he advised the victims as a lawyer on lawsuits against the administrations of the destroyed cities. He also played a leading role in the Aid Committee for the Pogrom Victims founded by Naphtali Günzburg . Together with Maxim Winawer and Oskar Grusenberg , Sliosberg was one of the founders of the anti-Zionist Union for the achievement of the full rights of the Jewish people in Russia in 1905 , which became the folk group in 1907 . During the Beilis Affair , he and Arnold Margolin founded the Beilis Defense Committee, which financed the search for the real culprits through private investigations.

Sliosberg lectured on the history of legislation on Jews in Russia in Baron David Günzburg's courses in oriental studies and published articles on Jewish problems in newspapers and magazines. He also participated in the work of the criminal law department of the St. Petersburg Legal Society. In his publications he criticized the work of Cesare Lombroso , Enrico Ferri and others who, in his opinion, attached too much importance to sociology for criminal law. 1899-1903 he published the journal of the legal society.

Sliosberg followed right-wing views and turned to the Constitutional Democratic Party ( Cadets ). He was arrested soon after the October Revolution and, after brief imprisonment, emigrated to Finland and then on to France . In Paris he headed the Russian Jewish community. In 1933 he and others founded the Society of Friends of the Dawn , a weekly newspaper of the Federation of Russian-Ukrainian Zionists in Emigration.

Sliosberg was an active freemason . In 1921 he was accepted into the Masonic Lodge Teba No. 347 under the roof of the Grande Loge de France . He now worked under the direction of LD Kandaurov.

In 1934 Jewish organizations in Switzerland sued the publication of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion by a local Nazi organization. Sliosberg appeared as a witness at the Bern trial , and the court ruled that the minutes were a forgery.
