Note on Colorful Personality
The coming to this country of Dr. Wolfgang von WeiS1 brings
to our shores one of the most colorful Jewish personalities in the
world. A physician by profession, Dr. Weis( was a gunner . in the.
Austrian forces during World War I. His military training of those
years stood him in good service during the Jewish war of libera-
tion, when he was in command of Israeli artillery, first in the
Tel Aviv area and later in the Negev, where he outmaneuvered
and defeated superior Egyptian armored forces. Wounded in the
conquest of Beersheba, he retired from active service.
A Zionist since early youth, he emigrated to Palestine in 1922
shortly after receiving his medical degree at the University of
Vienna. Propelled toward political activity and journalism while
at the same time devoting himself to his profession, Dr. Weis(
accepted the post as Eastern correspondent of the Ullstein Service.
He was the first newspaper man to have secured an interview
with King Ibn Saud and the last one to have been received by
King Hussein of the Hadjaz. He was once imprisoned by the
Shah Riza of Persia, who suspected him of being another Colonel
Lawrence in disguise. One of his memorable feats was crossing
of the Red Sea in a two-ton sailing boat. In order to study the
philosophy of the modern Hindus, he wandered through the
Himalayas as a Brahman monk.
With the arrival of Hitler, Dr. Weis( abandoned all his inter-
ests and concentrated on the political fight for the sur-
vival of European Jewry. He therefore tried to convince the
Jews of Central and Eastern Europe that their only hope for
survival lay in immediate emigration to. Palestine. Between 1932
and 1939 he delivered over 1,000 lectures and wrote more than
600 articles, with Jewish survival as the theme. In 1940 he
returned to Palestine where he built a private hospital. -
In 1946 he was among a group of Jewish leaders arrested by
the British because of their connection with the underground.
He was arrested again by the British in 1947, but was liberated,
