Reuven Fahn

Reuven Fahn ( 18781939 or 1944) was a Polish Jewish scholar, writer, historian, ethnographer and epigraphist.

Early life Reuven Fahn was born on 21 February 1878 in the village of Starunia located near the small town of Sołotwina in the southeastern part of Austrian Galicia. Fahn's father, Avraham ha-Levi, was a manager in a mine, while his mother, Zissel, was a descendant of Rabbi David ha-Levi Segal, who had served as a Rav in both Kraków and Lwow. Another, possibly more reliable report states that he was rounded up and murdered by the Nazis and their local Ukrainian collaborators in Stanisławów at the age of 66 in 1944.
