The Last Rabbi of Berlin and the Burialist of Hope
The story follows Martin Riesenburger, a cantor who became Berlin’s last functioning Jewish cemetery caretaker. Hidden Torahs, secret services, and funerals amid Gestapo surveillance define his wartime role, as he supported survivors and kept Berlin Jewry alive. He hid Torahs, conducted clandestine services, and performed burials until Soviet liberation.
