Erich Rosenberg & the CJV

Erich Rosenberg (May 13, 1896–November, 1971) was born in Berlin, Germany; he was the third of six children of Gabriel and Bertha Rosenberg (née Rosenbaum). He received a doctorate from the University of Frankfurt am Main in 1922. His thesis advisor, Franz Oppenheimer, had come to Frankfurt in 1919 for the Chair in Sociology and Theoretical Political Economy. In the 1920s, Rosenberg was a businessman; there is no record that he married or had children. According to Max Born's autobiography, by the early 1930s Rosenberg was of independent means, and was studying science and philosophy "for fun" at the University of Göttingen. Introduced by ... Husserl, he had also befriended Born, who held the Chair in Theoretical Physics, and his wife Hedi. By July, 1933 Rosenberg was living in Amsterdam; this was shortly after the National Socialist Party (Nazi) had taken power in Germany. Rosenberg was advising the Borns and others with Jewish family roots about emigration from Germany. After the Borns' emigration to Scotland in 1933, Max Born dedicated his book Atomic Physics (1935) to Rosenberg. Max Born won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1954. Rosenberg and Hedi Born were lifelong friends.

Records of Rosenberg's life in Amsterdam from 1933-1938 haven't been found. At some point Rosenberg's mother Bertha joined him in Amsterdam. In Amsterdam, Rosenberg was a supporter of the Committee for Jewish Refugees. The Amsterdam committee as well as the many committees in the Dutch provinces had been managing the influx of refugees from Germany who crossed the border into the Netherlands. In 1938, Rosenberg became the Head of the Welfare Department for the Committee. This is likely in conjunction with the great increase in the influx of refugees following Kristallnacht (November 9–10, 1938). On that night thousands of buildings and businesses of Jews were looted, vandalized, or burned. Many Jews were beaten, some were killed, and in the aftermath about forty thousand Jewish men were incarcerated for varying periods of time. , in which many Jews in Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland were.

Harry Schnur later described Rosenberg's work for the Committee: " ."

In August 1941 Rosenberg left the Netherlands for Spain and Cuba, ultimately landing in the United States in 1943.

We had clever and reliable advice from a friend, Erich Rosenberg. He had been a successful merchant, but when he had earned sufficient money he gave up his job and came to Goettingen in order to study science and philosophy -- without any practical aim, just for "fun". His brother had married Hedi's friend, Elli Husserl, the daughter of my teacher in philosophy, of whom I have spoken in chapter VI. Thus he came to our house and was a most charming, inspiring addition to our circle. He was a man of practical experience, kindness, and wisdom. During these critical days, he was a great help.

Beitz was working in the Ukraine - it isn't clear whether this is the same Rosenberg who had been living in the Netherlands.

List of Monuments to Friedrich Schiller

Schiller Monuments

Schiller Monument (Omaha)

IMAGE of POSTCARD.
A monument to Friedrich Schiller was erected in Omaha, Nebraska in 1905. It was sponsored by the Omaha Schwaben Society and other German-American organizations, and was designed by Johannes Maihoefer.

The monument was originally sited in Riverview Park. The monument suffered damage in 1917 from anti-German vandals during World War I, and was restored afterwards. Around 1964, when Riverview Park's zoo was expanded to create the Henry Doorly Zoo, the monument was moved to the grounds of the Omaha German-American Society.
