Life

Rosenberg was born in a family of German Jews in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her parents, a lawyer and a doctor, fled Germany in 1936 via Paraguay to Argentina and escaped the Holocaust.

In 1990 she met Emilie Schindler first time. Their intensive conversations are documented in more than 70 hours of recordings from which Rosenberg made the biography "In Schindlers Schatten" in 1997. After Emilie Schindler's death on October 9, 2001, Erika Rosenberg was appointed one of her heirs, as their common work also led to a great friendship.

Since 2009 Rosenberg has represented Argentina at the International Council of the Austrian Service Abroad. Erika Rosenberg was 2015 honored with the Bundesverdienstkreuz am Bande of the Federal Republic of Germany. She published a new book with the biography of Pope Francis, and 2016 a biography of Carl Lutz, who saved the life of more 60,000 Jews from deportation in Hungary. Erika Rosenberg was the key note speaker at the International Congress of Education in Tullahoma, Tennessee in 2017. [1]

<i>Schindlerjuden</i> Jews saved by Oskar Schindler during the Holocaust

The Schindlerjuden, literally translated from German as "Schindler Jews", were a group of roughly 1,200 Jews saved by Oskar Schindler during the Holocaust. They survived the years of the Nazi regime primarily through the intervention of Schindler, who afforded them protected status as industrial workers at his enamelware factory in Kraków, capital of the General Government, and after 1944, in an armaments factory in occupied Czechoslovakia. There, they avoided being sent to death camps and survived the genocide. Schindler expended his personal fortune made as an industrialist to save the Schindlerjuden.
