Iacob Pistiner Explained
Iacob Pistiner (German: Jakob Pistiner; 1882 – 24 August 1930) was a Romanian politician and lawyer.[1]
He was born in Chernivtsi, Bukovina, 1882, then part of Austro-Hungarian Empire, in a Jewish family.[2] As a result of the general election of May–June, 1920, in Greater Romania, he was elected member of the parliament, defeating the German candidate by a majority of only 30 votes.[3]
His political career was tied with the socialist movement. In 1917, he joined Mayer Ebner in establishing the Jewish National Council in Chernivtsi.[4] As a lawyer he pleaded for the defendants in the "Trial of the 500" that followed the important 1924 Tatarbunary Uprising.
He died unexpectedly in 1930 in Bucharest, aged 49.[5]
