Hugo Rothenberg

businessman Denmark

Hugo Rothenberg was a prosperous German-Jewish businessman who lived in Copenhagen. After taking in a young Hermann Göring during the tumultuous years following World War I, Rothenberg later sought Göring's help to rescue his family from the escalating persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany. His attempts to leverage this long-forgotten connection proved both dangerous and pivotal during the Holocaust, as he navigated a complex web of relationships to assist fellow Jews.
