Keim, Anthoni (d. 1546)
Anthoni Keim (called Kleyn by van Braght, Dutch Martyrs' Mirror, and Klein in the German edition of 1780), a Hutterite martyr, a tailor of Gunzenhausen (Middle Franconia), Bavaria, Germany, was seized with Hans Staudach and two companions when they were about to go to Moravia, and taken to Vienna (2 August 1546), and after a long, severe imprisonment and several cross-examinations, in which they victoriously attested their faith, they were beheaded on 22 November 1546. To commemorate their death Wolf Sailer and Hans Gurtzham each wrote a song; both are found in Die Lieder der Hutterischen Brüder.
