The Mittelbau-Dora Concentration Camp Memorial invites you to meet the survivor Albrecht Weinberg at the city library in Nordhausen.
Albrecht Weinberg was born in March 1925 in the district of Leer, the son of Flora and Alfred Weinberg. His parents as well as Albrecht and his two siblings were deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp in the early 1940s. His parents did not survive the concentration camp. Albrecht Weinberg himself was sent from the Auschwitz concentration camp to Mittelbau-Dora in a clearance transport at the beginning of 1945. He was not liberated here, but only on April 15, 1945 in Bergen-Belsen, after being forced on another clearance transport.
In 1947, Albrecht Weinberg and his sister emigrated to the United States and lived in New York for over 60 years. In 2012, they returned to Leer, where Albrecht still lives today. He is committed to remembering Nazi crimes and is a strong voice in the fight for democracy and human rights. Last year, his biography was published. The city of Nordhausen recently awarded him an honorary citizenship for his commitment.
On April 8, Albrecht Weinberg, who celebrated his 100th birthday in March, will talk about his childhood and youth under National Socialism, his time as a prisoner in the concentration camps of Auschwitz, Mittelbau-Dora and Bergen-Belsen, and his life after liberation.
