Maurycy (Moses) Allerhand (born June 28, 1868 in Rzeszów ; † August 1942 in the Belzec extermination camp ) was a Polish lawyer and professor at the Law Faculty of Lviv University .

Life

He came from a wealthy Jewish family of lower nobility. After graduating from high school in Rzeszów , he began studying at the University of Vienna . At this university he was awarded a doctorate in law in 1892. He then went to Lviv (now Lvov), where he worked as a lawyer and founded his own law firm in 1900. In addition to his legal practice, he published numerous articles, treatises and legal monographs in Polish and foreign magazines. He received his habilitation title in the field of court hearings in 1909 at the University of Lemberg after his habilitation thesis "List in the court hearing". He wrote many of his works a. a. also in German. In 1917 he was appointed associate professor and in 1922 full professor.

On August 22, 1919 he was appointed a member of the Commission for the Codification of Polish Law and in 1922 a member of the State Court. In 1929 he was chairman of the Jewish community. He stayed away from politics and was in favor of full assimilation to Poland and the Polish nation. At the same time, he continued his legal practice and worked academically, giving lectures on enforcement law, voluntary jurisdiction, tendering law, the history and organization of the judiciary, the legal profession and the notary's office, and aviation insurance law. Until 1933 he was head of the chair for commercial and bill of exchange law. He often invited young employees to seminars in his study at the university. Among these employees were some lawyers who later became famous, such as Karol Koranyi, Kazimierz Przybyłowski, Jerzy Sawicki and Stefan Rozmaryn-Kwieciński. 1932–1933 he published a two-part commentary on the Code of Civil Procedure, in 1935 a commentary on commercial law and in 1937 a commentary on bankruptcy law. After the Red Army marched into Lviv and the university was reorganized, he held lectures at the Faculty of Law.

After the German attack on the Soviet Union and the invasion of the Wehrmacht in Lemberg on June 30, 1941, he refused to become chairman of the Judenrat . He was released from the university and taken to the ghetto with his family . He was then taken with his family to the Belzec extermination camp, where he was murdered in August 1942. His son Joachim and his grandchild Leszek as well as his daughter-in-law survived the Holocaust .
