Talk:Chaim Kreiswirth

Artscroll?
Geniality? What is this, Artscroll?

I just corrected an sentence in the 'Final Days' section. It previously read: Continental European Jewry were especially rocked by the death of the single most important scholar and leader who ever lived

I've altered it to: Continental European Jewry were especially rocked by the death of one of the most important scholars and leaders of post-War European Jewry.

I'm not sure if the original version was a mistake or a joke; either way it's wrong. Ezra


 * I'm not sure your version is much better. This whole article reads like a Jewish Press obit. Joe407 (talk) 16:53, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Surname
The article seems to be telling us that "Kreiswirth" was his mother's maiden name, not his father's surname, which was, apparently, "Schermann". Given that this is a rather unusual circumstance -- adopting one's mother's name -- it would be really nice for the article to explain how and why this came to pass.

Or was "Schermann" his father's middle name, not surname (which was in fact "Kreiswirth")? Seems possible but also unlikely. In all events, this is confusing, and it seems to beg for clearer treatment in the article. Toddcs (talk) 23:51, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
