Selig Schachnowitz (May 27, 1874 – January 23, 1952) was a Russian-born Swiss-Jewish writer and publicist.
[1] During a trip to Baden, Switzerland, he presented his first work, Chayim Moshiach, to a hotelier for examination, and had found it printed the next week in the Mainz Israelite.
[2] In 1908, he started as an editor at Der Israelit magazine in Frankfurt,[3] where he also worked as a teacher at Solomon Breuer's yeshiva.
After visiting Eretz Yisrael, he wrote Zwischen Ruinen und Aufbau in Erez-Israel in 1931.
He emigrated to Switzerland in 1938 after Der Israelit closed due to sanctions by the Nazi Party.
