Yitzchak Lowy (1887–1942), also known as Yitskhok Levi, Jizchak Löwy, Jacques Levy, Djak Levi, was a Polish Yiddish theater actor.
Lowy was born in Warsaw, Poland. In 1907, he joined a Yiddish theater troupe and toured Europe. From October 1911 through 1912 the troupe stated in Prague, where Lowy became good friends with Franz Kafka. From the Warsaw Ghetto, it is likely that he was deported in the summer of 1942 and then murdered in the Treblinka extermination camp.[1]
