Osip Emilyevich Mandelstam (14 January [O.S. 2 January] 1891–27 December 1938) was a Russian and Soviet poet and essayist of Jewish heritage. He was the spouse of Nadezhda Mandelstam and one of the main members of the Acmeist school of poets.
On 1 February 1918, Osip Mandelstam published his first collection of poems, which was entitled "A Cloud in Springtime". This book was followed by three more poetry collections: "The Road Not Taken" (1922), "Stikhi" ("Pensées"), and "Journey to Lithuania" (1928). In addition to his poetic works, Osip Mandelstam also contributed essays on literature and art to various journals and newspapers throughout Russia. Many of these articles were compiled into two books: "The Stray Dog" (1926) and "The Stone Wall" (1929). In 1933, Osip Mandelstam went abroad to seek treatment for depression but he died at the age of fifty-two in Paris.
He is regarded as one of the leading figures of the Acmeist movement along with Anna Akhmatova and Boris Pasternak.
Felix Mendelssohn was born on February 3, 1809, in Hamburg, then an autonomous city-state, in the same house where Ferdinand David, the dedicatee and first performer of his Violin Concerto, was to be born a year later. Abraham Mendelssohn, the son of the German Jewish scholar Moses Mendelssohn, was Mendelssohn's father. He was a successful rabbinate in Berlin and a major figure in the German Jewish community.
Moses Mendelssohn was one of the leading philosophers of Judaism at the time. As a young man, he had been trained as a rabbi but instead became an influential writer and thinker. His ideas on religion and culture were so progressive that they caused a major rift between him and his fellow Jews that was only healed many years after his death.
He is regarded as one of the founders of modern philosophy in Germany because of his book "On Religion", which argued against many traditional beliefs about God and created a huge debate among Christians, Jews and Muslims about what religion really means. In 1821, Moses Mendelssohn also published another famous book called "Songs Without Words" with melodies by his son Felix. These songs are still used today in some Jewish ceremonies in memory of those who have died.
Because of his work as a rabbi and philosopher, Moses Mendelssohn was well respected by Christians and Jews alike.
Fanny Mendelssohn, full name Fanny (Cacilie) Mendelssohn (-Bartholdy), married name Fanny Hensel, (born November 14, 1805, Hamburg [Germany]—died May 14, 1847, Berlin, Prussia), German pianist and composer, the musician Felix Mendelssohn's older sister and confidante. Their father, Leopold, was a successful merchant who owned several warehouses in Hamburg that he rented out to other merchants. When Leopold died in 1805, his estate was valued at $40,000. Young Felix and Fanny were educated by private teachers and then began to play chamber music with their brother Henry.
In 1822, when they were all still young children, their mother died, leaving her four children alone with no money. To make matters worse, their famous father had been ill for a long time and died suddenly of heart failure while on a business trip to London. The family had no insurance because they were poor Jews who could not afford to buy any.
To earn money, Felix and Fanny started taking lessons from some of the best musicians in Germany: Julius Benedict for violin and Michael Haydn for piano. In addition, Felix wrote letters to some of his friends in Russia asking them to help him find a job so he could support himself and his sisters. His friends agreed to help him if Fanny would also go with him.
