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.

 * Born, p. 267. "on July 2 Hedi traveled to England to find accommodation for us. On the way she stopped at Amsterdam and spent a few days with our friend Erich Rosenberg, who was doing a marvellous job there in helping Jewish people to emigrate; he stayed in Europe as long as possible and went to America only when the occupation of Holland by Hiter's armies was imminent."
 * Halter interviewed Berthold Beitz. Starting in 1941, Beitz employed many Jews for the company Karpathian Oil; these Jews were otherwise destined for the concentration camps. Beitz is quoted, "I even employed one man as a simple clerk, his name was Erich Rosenberg, Professor of Economics." Beitz was working in the Ukraine - it isn't clear whether this is the same Rosenberg who had been living in the Netherlands.

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.
