His father was Moritz Friedländer, a liberal scholar of Judaism who worked with the Jewish community of the Kingdom of Hungary on matters including the expansion of education.[citation needed]
Beginning in 1901, Ewald was a member of a group of young intellectuals in Vienna, "Die Männer der Zukunft". In addition to Ewald, this group included Otto Weininger, Arthur Gerber, Moritz Rappaport, Emil Lucka, and Hermann Swoboda.[1]
Ewald converted to Protestantism and changed his last name to Ewald.[1]
