Albrecht Weinberg survived the Auschwitz, Mittelbau-Dora and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps. Today, he is one of the few contemporary witnesses who can still talk about their persecution under National Socialism - and he does so tirelessly. Albrecht Weinberg remembers and warns - in front of school classes, in talks with journalists or at vigils and demonstrations against right-wing extremism.
He recently attracted some attention when he returned his Federal Cross of Merit in protest against the joint vote by the CDU/CSU, FDP and #noAfD. His clear stance, even in current debates, is an enrichment for our society.
We wish Albrecht Weinberg all the best for his birthday!
