Biography
Fritz Zeckendorf (1886â1943) was a Hungarian screenwriter and novelist, active in German cinema during the Weimar era. Following the Nazi takeover in 1933 the Jewish Zeckendorf was barred from working in the German film industry. A 1935 German film The Man with the Paw was adapted from his novel of the same title, although he was not employed on the project. His final work came when he wrote the screenplay for Kurt Gerron's Dutch-Italian co-production The Three Wishes in 1937. In 1943 he was deported from Berlin to the Auschwitz concentration camp where he was murdered as part of the holocaust.
