Neurologist Dr. Mane Weinberg (1881-1941)

Mane Weinberg was born in 1881 in Tukums, Latvia. He studied medicine and served as a soldier in the German army during the First World War, for which he was awarded the Iron Cross II Class. After completing his doctorate in 1918, he became an assistant doctor at Dr. Rosell's sanatorium in Ballenstedt. He later opened his own neurological practice in Ballenstedt, which he moved to Quedlinburg in the 1920s. Dr. Weinberg came from a Jewish family, but had converted to the Protestant faith. He was married to Helene, née Fessel, and had two daughters with her. His eldest daughter Jutta drowned in a pond near Ballenstedt in 1930. After the National Socialists came to power, Weinberg was subjected to considerable reprisals. From May 1933 onwards, SA guards frequently stood outside his practice. On July 25, 1938, he had to give up his work as a doctor. During the November pogroms of 1938, members of the SS stormed the Weinbergs' apartment with burning torches and vandalized the furnishings. Dr. Mane Weinberg was interned in the Buchenwald concentration camp. After his release, his apartment and practice in Quedlinburg were terminated. For the time being, he stayed with Hans Sachs, a former district court judge and seed breeding entrepreneur whom he had met in Buchenwald. His wife moved to Dessau and his daughter Bärbel was already living in Berlin at the time. As plans to emigrate to the United States failed, Weinberg moved to join his siblings in Riga in March 1939. Helene Weinberg later filed for divorce, which became legally binding on December 15, 1942. Mane Weinberg lived in his brother's apartment until October 1941 at the latest and was then taken to the Riga ghetto. He was most likely murdered in November or December 1941 in the Rumbula Forest.
