"Eleven Days in the Concentration-Camp Buchenwald"

Rabbi Dr. Georg Wilde was born on 9 May 1877, in Meseritz, Brandenburg. He served as a rabbi in Magdeburg from 1906 until 1939, and was also a chaplain in the German Army during World War I. He was arrested on the morning following Kristallnacht, and imprisoned in the Buchenwald concentration camp in November 1938. After his release, he and his wife, Martha, immigrated to England in March 1939, assisted by Chief Rabbi Joseph H. Hertz in London. Rabbi and Mrs. Wilde settled in Cambridge, and he died in 1949.
