Golemeth

When the Warsaw Ghetto was being formed, rabbi Leon Kohn toiled day and night to ensure protection of his children and friends. Much like the legendary rabbi Loew of Prague, he created a golem to protect the Jews from aggressors. Rabbi Kohn knew that God punished his predecessor for daring to create life, and so he made a deal and gave his life so his creation could have a soul. The new Golem was his own person, with his own chance of life and death and was called Golemeth by his new wards to make him distinct from the Golem. Golemeth tried to protect all Jews, he attacked the trains that transported Jews, and killed German soldiers and local collaborators when he could. In the end, he was one of the few beings that genuinely terrified Johann Meinhoff—the infamous Nacht-Krieger.
Golemeth was somehow killed in Ustka during the war. His body wasn’t discovered after the war—it’s unlikely that after his death, the Ahnenerbe Institute, a Nazi group organized to research the history of the Aryan race, would wish to study “Jewish subhuman magic.” Perhaps his body was totally destroyed. Rabbi Kohn’s younger son and daughter died in concentration camps, but his oldest son Dawid survived and emigrated to Israel in 1968. It’s unknown whether he retained any of his father’s mystical secrets or talents, but recently a new hero has emerged in Israel called Golemancer. It’s unknown if there is any connection between Golemancer and the Kohn family.
