Danzig

Danzig (Polish Gdańsk), a Baltic port city, had a Jewish community that grew after Prussian annexation in 1793 and built a Great Synagogue in 1887; in the interwar period it was the Free City of Danzig and a transit point for Jewish emigration. Rabbi Yisrael Lipschutz, author of the Mishnah commentary Tiferet Yisrael, served as its rabbi from 1837 to 1860.
