Werner Bill Friedeberg, 79, led services at Oakland JCC, Beth Israel (jweekly.com)
(…) Friedeberg was born Jan. 24, 1926, in Breslau, Germany. His father died when he was very young. In 1938, he and his mother, Gertrude, fled Germany and went to Shanghai. His mother died two years later, when he was 14. As a teenager, he sold candy at the free shows that were put on by Jewish actors, singers and dancers in the Jewish ghetto, and later, he went to work as a baker.
After eight years in Shanghai, he was able to immigrate to the United States and came to San Francisco. He served in the Army in the Korean War, becoming a staff sergeant. It was in the army that Friedeberg learned how to cook, and his son Mark said that it was a skill he was famous for. (…)
