Max Fenichel , also Menasche, Menasse, (born July 2, 1885 in Tarnów , Austria-Hungary , † September 16, 1942 in the Litzmannstadt ghetto ) was an Austrian photographer.
Life
Menasche Fenichel lived in Vienna since 1915 and registered a photography business there. From 1917 to 1938 his studio was in the 7th district at Kenyongasse 27/6. Among other things, he worked for the daily newspaper Die Stunden and the magazine Die Bühne as a photo reporter and was one of the photographers who developed the new means of serial photo reporting. Fenichel made a large number of portrait photos in his studio, including those of stage artists.
Fenichel was a member of the “Cooperative of Photographers in Vienna” and the organization of the Viennese press. After Austria's annexation in 1938, he was banned from working as a Jew and had to give up the photo studio, and he also had to move. In October 1941 he and his wife were deported to the Litzmannstadt ghetto in German-occupied Poland , where both were murdered.
