Anton Kaufman

Anton Kaufman (1883 – January 1, 1943) was a reporter for the Berliner Morgen-Zeitung and later the publisher of the Detroit Daily Chronicle and the Newark Jewish Chronicle. As a young man, he worked as a reporter for the Berliner Morgen-Zeitung. He immigrated to Detroit, Michigan, in 1905. He met and married Fannie Newman in Detroit on March 14, 1909, and had four children: Theodore Newman Kaufman, Herbert Kaufman, Julian Kaufman, and Leonard Kaufman. He became a citizen in 1910.

In 1934, he was arrested, along with his son, Theodore Newman Kaufman for the robbery of Sandor Alexander Balint, who had developed a process to speed the aging of wine.

His wife died on February 16, 1939. The lack of advertising revenue from World War II forced him into financial difficulty and he was forced to sell his own gravesite.
