Otto Felix Kanitz (* 5 February 1894, in Vienna; 29 March 1940, in Buchenwald) was an Austrian socialist, journalist and educator. He was also part of the 'Sch nbrunner Circle' (Sch nbrunner Kreis). Kanitz was born as the third of four children of Jewish parents. After his parents divorced in 1902, the three sons stayed with the father whilst the daughter was adjudged to the mother. When the father converted to Catholicism and took a catholic wife, one year later, the sons were baptized as well, but soon given to an orphanage in order to not disturb their stepmother. Young Kanitz had five years of primary school and three years of secondary school before starting an apprenticeship.
