Info. converted from 678, 2012-10-02 (b. 1915) Tale of a Torah scroll, 1976: title page (Werner Weinberg) page 1, etc. (born May 30, 1975 in Rheda, Westphalia, Germany; graduated from the Jewish Teachers Seminary in Würzburg in 1936 and became a religious leader in Rheda. With the coming of the Nazis he fled to Hannover, then to Apeldoorn, Holland in 1939. He and his wife, Lisl, entrusted daughter, Susie, to a non-Jewish couple from the Dutch Resistance. The Weinbergs were forced to hide and move from place to place, but they were eventually caught by the Nazis and sent to concentration camps. In 1945 they were reunited and returned to Apeldoorn to recover their daughter and some of their furnishings, including a family Torah, donated to HUC in 1975. The family was able to immigrate to the U.S. on April 3, 1948 where Weinberg served congregations in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Louisville, Kentucky, Albany, New York, and Dayton, Ohio. In 1959 they came to Cincinnati where Weinberg became a graduate fellow and later faculty member.)
