Kort Rapenburg 17

Jakob Ginsberg, a Polish Jew born in Lodz or possibly Kovno, left for Germany in the 50s to study Eastern letters at the Kaiser Wilhelm Universität in Strasbourg. During the First World War he was interned as a Russian citizen, but was released on the intercession of Leiden professors. He settled in Leiden, where he opened a fish shop and later a bookstore/antiquarian bookshop. Ginsberg became an important figure in the Leiden academic world, imported rare books from Eastern Europe, and was also a publisher.

He was married to a non-Jewish German wife, Erna Prigge, but after their divorce in 1936 he lost the protection that this marriage could have bid. During the occupation, his bookshops were taken over by the National Socialist Volksche Boekhandel. Ginsberg was arrested in 1943 and sent via Camp Vught to Auschwitz, where he was murdered on November 18, 1943.

His son, Jacob Ginsberg, continued the Ginsberg university bookstore after the war, first with his mother and later with great success alone. In 1975 the business was sold to ICU, a group with publisher Wolters-Noordhoff.
