Holocaust survivor Albrecht Weinberg returned to East Frisia

Original: Albrecht Weinberg überlebte den # Holocaust . Sechzig Jahre nach dem Exil in Amerika kehrte er in seine alte Heimat # Os

Albrecht Weinberg, a Holocaust survivor, returned to his home region of East Frisia in Germany sixty years after going into exile in the United States. He came back not out of longing for Germany, but because he was nearly blind and dependent on care, settling in Leer. His story of survival and return has drawn attention as a testimony to the Holocaust and reconciliation.

Why now: His remarkable life story of survival, exile and return resonates as Holocaust testimony and remembrance.
