Rabbi Israel Frankfurter (1874-1943) was born in Lvov to his pious father Rabbi David, who in turn was a chasid of the Komrana Rabbi.
He was a brilliant scholar and a pious Jew, who wrote many important works: Da'at Yisrael on Hilchot De'ot by Maimonides, Be'er Yisrael Otzar Divrei Ge'onim U-Kedoshim, and Orchot Yisreal on Orchot Chaim LaRosh.
He arrived in Paris in 1927 and immediately became its Rabbi, until he was deported by the Nazis to Drancy and Auschwitz concentration camps, and was killed. See more about him in enclosed material.
