Interview Summary
Interview with Albert Neuberger (1 tape), born 1908 in Bavaria into a family with an orthodox Jewish identity but no strong political views. He describes his life at home, his time at various schools and private religious lessons at home; the lack of hardship due to inflation because the family lived in the country and partly owned a farm; his views of the ’23 Putsch and his lack of sympathy for socialism; his experience of the rise of Nazism; his medical studies and research in Berlin and his decision to leave for England, where he had made some contacts, in January 1933. He became naturalized in late 1937 and describes his experiences of a mass rally during a visit to Berlin after that. He talks about his work at Cambridge, in the Home Guard, the Academic Assistants’ Council and with Jewish refugees; from 1943 at GHQ in India as nutrition adviser as well as in Cairo and Damascus. He describes his feelings at the first news of the Holocaust; his first visit to Germany in 1958 as a member of an international delegation of scientists; his ties to Israel, where he is closely involved with the university, and his admiration for the country for the way the Jews recovered from suffering.
