Dr.
Joachim Prinz burst on to the Berlin scene, a 23 year old rabbi and
gifted orator with a radical approach to the pulpit; a counterpoint to his
staid conservative colleagues. Early to comprehend the Nazi threat, he
urged Jews to leave Germany and was himself expelled in 1937. For the
next 40 years he brought the same energy and independent thinking to an
American congregation, Temple B'nai Abraham, and to his leadership of Jewish organizations. His
life-long commitment to Civil Rights culminated in his 1963 March on
Washington speech.
