Julius Pokorny (1887–1970) was born in Prague and studied at Vienna university. He was a scholar of Gaelic, and supported the Irish nationalist cause from 1908. From 1920 to 1935, he held the chair of Celtic philology in Berlin, before the Nazis discovered that he, in spite of being a German nationalist, was of Jewish descent.
