Administrative / Biographical History

Dr. Walter Auerbach (born Siegmund Selig Auerbach; 1905-1975) was a German centre-left politician and anti-Nazi resistance fighter. He had turned away from Judaism when he turned full age. After being briefly imprisoned by the Nazis he fled to The Netherlands (1933) and later to England (1939). He returned to Germany after the war and served as high ranking state official.
