Rabbi Wilhelm Weinberg collection

Rabbi Wilhelm Weinberg collection 

The Rabbi Wilhelm Weinberg papers consist of the personal papers of the first post-Holocaust Chief Rabbi of Hesse and Frankfurt am Main. The papers include biographical materials, correspondence, printed materials, records relating to legal cases, writings, a nineteen-volume set of the Heidelberg Talmud, audio recordings, and a photograph album. The collection documents Weinberg’s work in reorganizing the surviving German Jewish community after the war and his examination of philosophical and ethical issues stemming from the Holocaust.
