Weinrib, Louisa,

Hide Profile

From 1990-1992 Louisa Weinrib, a Jewish woman from Montgomery, Ala., interviewed five Jewish World War II veterans and nine Jews who either fit the definition of Holocaust survivor or are descended from a Holocaust survivor. The term "Holocaust survivor" is defined by the Registry of Jewish Holocaust Survivors as a "person who was displaced, persecuted, and/or discriminated against by the racial, religious, ethnic, and political policies of the Nazis and their Allies. In addition to former inmates of concentration camps and ghettos this includes refugees, people in hiding, etc." All but two of the interviewees lived in Montgomery at the time of the interview. The two exceptions were Pauline Davidson, who lived in Meridian Miss., and Hanna Berger, who lived in Selma, Ala.
