Schlomo Winninger

Schlomo Winninger, born "Salomon Wininger", ‎(1877, Gura Humora, Bukovina—1968, in Israel) was an Austrian-Jewish biographer.‎Before World War I, Winninger lived in Chernivtsi and moved to Vienna during the war years, ‎where he decided to write biographies of famous Jewish persons.‎ This idea was pushed in order to counter the self-hating mood of Jewish youth in the city, created under the influence of Otto Weininger's works.‎

During his twenty-five creative years, Schlomo Winninger wrote about 18,000 biographiesfact | date = August 2007, and he is considered ‎as one of the greatest Jewish biographers of all time.‎
