Aw80*

Amalia Matzner Weinberg was born on May 10, 1896, in Vienna, Austria. She moved to Germany as a young woman where she met Joseph. They settled comfortably in Cologne where they were active in their temple and had extended family and friends.  Amalia and Joseph fled to Amsterdam in 1939.  After Holland fell, they found themselves in a transit camp for Jews and sent to Theresienstadt. Joseph died in one of the last transports to Auschwitz. Because of their tattoos, she believed that they were in the same camp. She never spoke of her camp experiences. Amalia moved to Paris after the war and came to Los Angeles in 1951.
