Robert Lachmann

Robert Lachmann was born in Berlin, and arrived in Palestine in April 1935, after he had been dismissed from his position at the Berlin National Library, following the Nazis' rise to power. He came to Jerusalem at the invitation of Judah L. Magnes, chancellor and later president (1935–1948) of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, to establish a center of Oriental music and the "Archive for Oriental Music".

He participated in the 1932 Cairo Congress of Arab Music. He died in Jerusalem, aged 46.

gollark: I tried looking at it in Firefox's network pane in the debug thing, the websocket connection just doesn't show. I also tried mitmproxy, which also doesn't show anything. Now I'm trying wireshark, but I don't know how to work that, though it seems to show discord opening websockets okay.
gollark: I know websockets don't work with HTTP2 because it doesn't support protocol upgrade, but as far as I know it should just use HTTP 1.1, and Chrome does this.
gollark: <@!690636955108638740> I think it's enabled, why?
gollark: This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING. I have a bunch of websocket-based things which work fine in Chromium and wscat and whatever else, and appear to work if I run them locally too, but if I both have them behind my reverse proxy (caddy) and use them in Firefox it fails and just says `Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://[the things]`.
gollark: It depends on some patents or something. There's licensing weirdness.
