Google tells me that he was in the Plashow work camp during World

War II, where he worked in the camp’s library along with other rabbanim

(from To Vanquish the Dragon, by Pearl Benisch – a book I’d recommend,

by the way), and that someone by that name published a sefer on

the Haggadah called Eretz Tzvi in New York in 1965. A genealogy

site has a listing for someone with his name (but with no date

of birth or death listed there, it can’t be confirmed) listed as

having been married to Reisel, daughter of Simcha Frankel, and

someone whose maiden name was Kartegener (first name unlisted).
