Arthur Kronfeld

Arthur Kronfeld (January 9, 1886 – October 16, 1941) was a German-Jewish psychiatrist, and eventually a professor at the University of Berlin. Later in life, Kronfeld took up an important position in Moscow. On 10 October 1936, an exchange between Kronfeld and fellow exiled German-Jewish psychiatrist, James Lewin, was recorded in the proceedings of a meeting of the Moscow Society of Neuropathology and Psychiatry.[1] It is believed Kronfeld and his wife committed suicide at the approach of German troops.[2] However, there is some controversy on exactly how they died.[3]
