Mendel Michail (Michael) Ossip Nassatisin (born October 10, 1876 in Schaulen , Russian Empire ; † August 9, 1931 in Bad Kissingen , Lower Franconia ) was a Jewish wholesaler and philanthropist .

Life

He was the son of the innkeeper Ossip Nassatisin (1825– ??) in Gorodok ( Vitebsk Governorate , present-day Belarus ). Nassatisin became a flax and jute dealer in Wyatko. After becoming somewhat prosperous, he relocated to Moscow , from where he exported flax and jute to Germany, England , France, and even the United States . He built up a large circle of friends - not only among merchants, but also among those intellectuals who were preparing the Russian Revolution .

At this time, Nassatisin was also close friends with Alexander Fyodorowitsch Kerensky and worked for him and his revolutionary transitional government as a trade advisor for flax and jute. After the fall of Kerensky, he tried to work for the new government and eventually became a consultant for the Russian Government Trading Organization.

In 1921 Nassatisin went to London for the trade organization and worked in the local branch. In England he met many of his old customers from the pre-revolutionary era who had not yet settled their bills with him. Nassatisin resigned from the trade organization and settled in England with his company "Nassatisin Limited" as a flax and jute dealer. He successfully claimed the outstanding invoice amounts from his old customers and came back to great prosperity through his trading activities.

Nassatisin became active in the World Zionist Organization , was friends with Nachum Sokolow and was himself a Zionist leader. He invested u. a. in building the Palestinian economic system.

Nassatisin died on August 9, 1931 at the age of only 54 in Bad Kissingen, only a few days after his arrival from London at the beginning of August 1931 - he was then living at 11 Southampton Row - for a spa stay at the “ Grand Hotel Victoria and Kaiserhof ” in Bad Kissingen Spa town. In the practice of the doctor Dr. Arthur Pick, Kurhausstrasse 11 , was declared dead. First he was buried on August 14th in the Bad Kissinger Friedhof , soon after his body was transferred to London by his nephew Myer J. Liberson . The newspaper “ Der Israelit ” reported on August 20, 1931 that his body would later be buried in Erez Yisroel (Israel). The actual grave site is not known.

Nassatisin was already married to Anna Levovna Fertman (1875–1934) in Russia , who later followed him to London.
