Moses water draft
Moses Wasserzug (born around 1760 in Schokken near Posen ; died in the 19th century), Yiddish Mosheh Wassercug , was a Polish-Prussian Chasan and Schochet .
He was born the son of a Jewish textile merchant.
The Simon Dubnow Institute writes about his memoirs: “The memoirs of Moses Wasserzug, who in the late 18th and early 19th centuries worked for various Jewish communities between Greifenhagen and Plock as a prayer leader, slaughterer, trader, administrator, teacher and innkeeper , belong to the few personal testimonies from this time and region. They give an excellent insight into the everyday life of Jews on the threshold of modernity, but also show the stratification of Jewish society. "
