W. Michael Blumenthal, curator of Berlin’s Jewish Museum and former U.S. Treasury Secretary, will be made an honorary citizen of Oranienburg, the small German town where he was born. Blumenthal, whose family fled to the U.S. in 1939, became an American citizen in 1952. Oranienburg’s mayor said the aim of the honor was “to show there was no place for anti-Semitism there.” – Die Welt
