Leib Weissberg


Leib Weissberg was a Slavonski Brod rabbi who was killed during the Holocaust.
Weissberg was born in Probużna to Jewish parents Seide and Ehaja Weissberg. He was married to Adela Weissberg with whom he had two sons: Samuel and Saadia. Weissberg was educated at the rabbinical seminary "Israelitisch-theologische Lehranstalt Vienna". He didn't know any Croatian when he arrived in Brod with his wife, but he quickly learned it. Weissberg was a rabbi of the Jewish Community Slavonski Brod until World War II. His wife would often replace him at religious classes. Weissberg and his family were deported to Jasenovac concentration camp where they all were killed in 1942. Weissberg was the last rabbi of Slavonski Brod until this day.
