Ernest Kleinberg (1910-1980) was born in Breslau, Germany. He grew up in Vienna, where he became a photographer for American news agencies and Life magazine. In March 1938 he was arrested by the Gestapo for photographing Hitler's march into Vienna. Released six weeks later thanks to pressure from American friends, he escaped to New York where he resumed photography and rescued his entire family from Nazi Austria. In the early 1950s he became a self-taught film producer. He subsequently completed more than 25 documentary movies.

How many of these films did he do? I remember some, from school.

[@RobertFKleinberg]

He made over 25 documentaries (see bio above). Twenty-one of them are now on KZbin, commercial-free. Some were shown in schools while others were sponsored (including by the Ford Foundation, Caltex, Santa Fe Railroad, and Stanford University). Thank you for watching.
