Biography
Wilhelm Garfunkl, born in 1842, came of age during the later half of the 19th century when Brno was a thriving center of crafts and commerce. He belonged to a generation that saw both the promise and the persistence of Jewish traditions in the city.
His memory lives on in the Jewish cemetery in Brno, a place where families still pause to honor the contributions of those who came before.
