Anton Bettelheim
Anton Bettelheim (November 18, 1851 in Vienna – March 29, 1930 in Vienna) was an Austrian critic and journalist.
Life and career.
He was born to a Jewish family and studied law, and for some time was engaged in active practise, but abandoned the profession for a literary career. Although he had received his degree of "doctor of law", he attended the lectures of Giesebrecht and Michael Bernays at Munich on literary subjects. Fired by the eloquence and enthusiasm of the latter
story ""Bethlen-Jude"". This name clung to him until the royal edict, bidding Jews to assume family names, went into force, and then the name was changed to "Bettelheim". Among the family relics preserved by a scion of the house in Freystadtel, on the Waga (), is an oil painting that depicts the daring rescue of Bethlen-Jude's wife from the hands of her abductor.
