Moritz Hainebach (born August 10, 1872 in Indianapolis , Indiana ; † November 25, 1941 in the Kauen ghetto , general district of Lithuania ) was a German violinist as well as a violin and piano teacher .

Life

Little is known about Hainebach's early years. From 1910 he lived and worked in Frankfurt am Main . He made a name for himself as a violinist and music teacher, and from 1910 to 1926 he ran his own training facility at the Hainebach Music School. Hainebach later also worked as a teacher at the Post Brothers Conservatory.

As a Jew , he came under massive pressure as a result of the " seizure of power " in National Socialist Germany . After his forced release he only gave private lessons until 1938. On November 22, 1941, German authorities deported Hainebach via Łódź to the ghetto of Kaunas, which was occupied by German troops . There he was shot dead three days later immediately after arriving.
