Professor Anthony Natansohn, last unbaptized member of the famous Warsaw assimilationist family, died here Sunday. He was seventy-two years old. Professor Natansohn taught at the Warsaw Jewish Hospital for thirty-two years.
The Natansohn family is well-known in Poland. The Warsaw branch of the family produced a number of medical men, bankers and industrialists. Several of the Natansohns held the post of president of the Warsaw Jewish community. They were strong opponents of the Zionist movement and fought the Polish Zionists bitterly.
