Roger Winsbacher

Roger Winsbacher (19 June 1928 – 13 February 2012) was a French rabbi and educator known for his oratorical and pedagogical skills.

At age eleven, during the onset of the Second World War, he sought refuge in Limoges with his family, enrolling in an ORT school in the city.

Future Chief Rabbi Abraham Deutsch, originally from Strasbourg, joined the family in Limoges and became a large influence on Winsbacher's life.

Roger Winsbacher spent the rest of the war in Switzerland[3] where he continued his studies under Rabbi Haim Gittler.

Winsbacher died in Strasbourg on 13 February 2012 and was buried the next day in the cimetière "Etz Haïm" de Cronenbourg,.
