Simon Rendi (1864–1942) was the founder of the well-known textile trading house Rendi in Graz, known throughout the Monarchy, in 1892. From 1912 until 1928, he was president of the Jewish Community and was actively and generously involved in numerous Jewish associations. After the Nazi takeover of power, he fled to Zagreb. He was arrested following the German army's invasion, sent to the Jasenovac concentration camp, and murdered there in 1942.
