Lebenslauf |
Aharon Barend Davids (also known as A.B.N. Davids or Aharon Jssachar Davids) was born to Nachman Nardus Davids and Rosa Dünner on August 28, 1895 in Amstredam. He studied to be a rabbi at the Dutch-Jewish Seminary in Amsterdam. In 1924 he was appointed chief rabbi of Friesland. His appointment did not go unnoticed. A.B.N. Davids was an ardent Zionist, which not everyone appreciated. In his inaugural spaech he was very frank about his ideological views: 'More work may be performed directly for the establishment of Palestine. We should not stick to praying for the restoration of Zion but should work toward its establishment.' Despite his confrontational stand, he was appointed chief rabbi of the Rotterdam district in 1930. In Rotterdam Davids interacted extensively with Jews not pertaining to the core of the Jewish community. He reached out to Jews who were unemployed and Jewish servicemen and expressed an interest in the Jewish scouts. He established the Instituut voor Joodsche Ontwikkeling [institute for Jewish development], which offered courses on Judaism, Jewish literature and Jewish history. Rabbi Davids chaired the Amsterdam chapter of the Nederlandse Zionistische Studenten Organisatie (NZSO) [Dutch Zionist student organizations]. He was one of the leaders of the religious-Zionist Mizrachi and was in charge of the association Or Chadas (new light). Rabbi Davids was a member of the pre-war Rotterdam refugee committee.
On June 7, 1943, Rabbi Davids was interned in the Westerbork camp. From there he was deported to Bergen-Belsen on January 11, 1944, where he died on February 22, 1945.
