Description		    Dr. Adolf Frankl-Gruen (1847–1916), rabbi and historian in Moravia. Born in Uhersky Brod, Moravia, he officiated as rabbi of Kromeriz (Kremsier) from 1877 to 1911. Frankl-Gruen published many articles on biblical exegesis (see Gesamtindex of MGWJ (1966), 18) and homiletics, and a polemic against the anti-Semite H. S. Chamberlain (1901). In 1903 he completed Juedische Zeitgeschichte und Zeitgenossen, on the contemporary Jewish scene. His three-volume Geschichte der Juden in Kremsier (1896–1901) and Geschichte der Juden in Ungarisch-Brod (1905), based mainly on documents previously unpublished, remain essential texts for the student of Jewish history in Moravia. In 1889 he became involved in a blood libel in Kromeriz when a rumor was spread before Passover that a box containing the body of a Christian girl had been sent to him by railway.
