Gregor Rabinovitch

Gregor Rabinovitch (2 April 1889–12 November 1953) was a Russian-born film producer who worked for many years in the German film industry. He emigrated following the Nazi takeover of power in 1933, and spent a number of years in exile in France and the United States. He later returned and died in Munich in 1953.

In 1932 he set up the production company Cine-Allianz with Arnold Pressburger. The company enjoyed commercial success, but was subsequently expropriated from them by the Nazi government of Germany as part of the anti-Jewish policy.
