Moishe Weinberg[]
Moishe Weinberg was the father of Chaim Weinberg. He and his wife met their son at a pier in New York Harbor in 1944 after the latter returned from Spain where he had been fighting for the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War.
The two had a wait since Chaim's passport had expired but when he came out he greeted the two with hugs. On seeing his injured hand, Moishe offered to carry Chaim's duffel bag but Chaim said he could manage. When Moishe asked what he would do now that he was back in America, Chaim replied he wasn't sure, but in a land flowing with milk and honey, he was sure he could manage.[3]
Ruth Weinberg[]
Ruth Weinberg was the mother of Chaim Weinberg. She and her husband met their son at a pier in New York Harbor in 1944 after the latter returned from Spain where he had been fighting for the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War. The two had a wait since Chaim's passport had expired but when he came out he greeted the two with hugs.
Ruth was upset at Chaim's injured hand but he said it was okay, he could manage with it. Chaim looked around and was amazed by the wealth and lack of war damaged. Ruth mistook this, since things were not as good as they had been, and apologized saying it was due to the war with Japan. Chaim laughed uproariously and explained he was surprised at how good things looked compared to Spain. Chaim added he now understood their stories about shtetls since he had seen similar things.[4]
