About Menachem Birnbaum

Menachem Birnbaum (born 1893 in Vienna, died probably 1944), was an Austrian Jewish book illustrator and portrait painter.

Birnbaum was the second son of the Jewish philosopher Nathan Birnbaum and his wife Rosa Korngut. Birnbaum later married Ernestine (Tina) Esther Helfmann, with whom he had two children: Rafael Zwi and Hana. Birnbaum lived in Berlin from 1911 until 1914 and again from 1919 until 1933. He then emigrated to the Netherlands. In the spring of 1943 he was arrested by the Gestapo and with his relatives sent to a German Nazi concentration camp where he was murdered by the Nazis. According to German records, Menachem, Tina, Rafael Zwi, and Hana Birnbaum died in Sobibór in 1943. Other sources state that Menachem probably died in Auschwitz in 1944.
