Norbert Wollheim

Norbert Wollheim (April 26, 1913 – November 1, 1998) was a chartered accountant, tax advisor, previously a board member of the Central Council of Jews in Germany and a functionary of other Jewish organisations.

During that same period he played a key role in running the Kindertransport which transported 10,000 Jewish children out of the Nazi government's reach and into safety.

Wollheim engaged himself strongly in the Jewish life and became a managing director of the federation of German-Jewish Werkleute youth [de].

After the night of the November Pogroms known as Kristallnacht in 1938, he helped to organise the transports of Jewish children to Great Britain and Sweden.

At the second hearing, Frankfurt's Oberlandesgericht settled the lawsuit with a global settlement awarding several thousand of the former slave labourers of I.G.

Wollheim provided his services on a pro bono basis to organisations like the US Holocaust Council and the World Federation of Bergen-Belsen Survivors.
