[2] A descendent of the Maharam Schick, Taglicht attended a religious elementary school and a yeshiva.
He had a large amount of material related to the history of Vienna, but in 1938 the Nazis seized his entire library, manuscripts, and the unpublished eleventh volume of Forschungen zur Geschichte der Juden in Österreich (Research on the History of Jews in Austria).
[7] In October 1935, Taglicht's daughter Edith (a teacher for Jewish schools in Berlin) was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Moabit prison for writing an anti-Nazi article despite insistences from her friends she never wrote such an article or took any interest in politics.

[9] Several months before World War II began, he managed to escape to England and spent the rest of his life there.
