Incarceration history

Biography

Albrecht Weinberg (7 March 1925 – 12 May 2026) was a German Holocaust survivor. He was imprisoned at the Buna/Monowitz concentration camp at first and survived three death marches. In 1945, he was sent to the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp before being liberated in Bergen-Belsen when the British Armed Forces arrived there. Following the Holocaust, Weinberg emigrated with his sister to the United States, where he ran a butcher's shop. He was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit in 2017, but returned it in 2025 in protest of the CDU/CSU's migration policy.
