Untimely deaths of brilliant European Jewish philosophers in the early 1900s

Cyprian Krause in 2016 published an article comparing Simone Weil and Carlo Michelstaedter.   Michelstaedter, a Jewish Italian philosopher who committed suicide in 1910 at the age of 23.  Like Weil his works were published after his death and his influence lives on.  See a A Blazing Defense of Individualism by Benjamin Ivry for background information.
