Albrecht Weinberg, a Holocaust survivor who later returned to live in Germany, has died at age 101, authorities in his home region say. Weinberg survived imprisonment in multiple Nazi concentration and death camps, including Auschwitz and Belsen, and lost most of his family during the Holocaust. After the war, he spends years teaching students about Nazi atrocities. According to reports, he lived in Leer in north-western Germany and died there weeks after his 101st birthday. Coverage also notes that his death comes shortly after the premiere of a film about his life titled “Es Ist Immer in Meinem Kopf” (“It Is Always in My Head”). The accounts consistently describe Weinberg’s survival, his later work educating others, and his return to Germany in his 80s, where he continues to share his experiences until his death.
