Yad Vashem mourns the loss of a great friend and supporter Alfred Paul
Ernst Freiherr von Oppenheim of Köln, Germany. His father, Righteous Among
the Nations Friedrich Carl Freiherr von Oppenheim used his privileged
status to assist Jews in distress throughout the war. In 1997 the family
endowed the Baron Friedrich Carl von Oppenheim Chair for the Study of
Racism, Antisemitism and the Holocaust at the International Institute for
Holocaust Studies. Speaking on behalf of his brother and sister at the
endowment ceremony, Alfred Freiherr von Oppenheim said: “The distinction
bestowed on our father is also an obligation for us. We feel we should, in
our way, act in his spirit.” Yad Vashem remembers Alfred Freiherr von
Oppenheim as a dear and generous friend and joins his wife Jeanne and his
three children in mourning his passing. |
