Boxcar
On Display

Holocaust Center to
dedicate the Henrietta
and Alvin Weisberg
Gallery Nov. 20.

T

he Holocaust Memorial Center
(HMC) in Farmington Hills
will publicly dedicate the
Henrietta and Alvin Weisberg Gallery,
a new addition that will house an
authentic World War II-era boxcar, at 6
p.m. Nov. 20.
A gift from local philanthropists
Henrietta and Alvin Weisberg funded
construction of this new gallery, which
was built in memory of Henrietta's
family murdered in the Holocaust, her
parents, Sara and Israel Gastfrajnd,
and brothers, Rubin and Hershel
Gastfrajnd. This gift also is being used
toward an education endowment.
The Weisbergs, who were honored at
the HMC Anniversary Dinner on Nov.
11 at Congregation Shaarey Zedek in
Southfield, are longtime benefactors to
the center, as well as to Shaarey Zedek,
the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit and Beaumont Hospital, among
others. The Weisbergs' daughter-in-law,
Lori, is a docent at the HMC.
"We are very grateful to the
Weisbergs for this generous dona-
tion:' said Holocaust Memorial
Center Executive Director Stephen M.
Goldman. "This gallery allows us to
display an object of great significance
that will not only educate our visitors,
but also stand as a reminder of one of
the darkest periods in human history:'
The HMC acquired the boxcar in
September 2011 with the cooperation
of the German National Railroad and
the Technical (Railroad) Museum in
Berlin. Believed to be one of the last in
existence and the only one exported
to the United States from Germany,
boxcars such as this transported Jews
and other victims of the Holocaust to
concentration camps. Forced to endure
crowded, deplorable conditions, many
perished in the boxcars before they
reached their destinations.
"Nothing could have been worse,"
said Henrietta Weisberg regarding her
memories of being in a similar box-
car. "While they have done movies and
written books, you cannot truly under-
stand unless you were there. I want the
world to know what happened during
the Holocaust so that such inhumanity
will never happen again"
