Ruben Weinberger was the son of Chlothilde Weinberger and the twin brother of Tana Weinberger. Both are also listed in this Memorial Book.

Ruben Weinberger was born on 6 November 1940, in Frankfurt am Main. After his birth, his mother stayed with him and his twin sister in “Heim Isenburg” for three months. He later returned to his mother in Langendernbach in the district of Limburg.

Ruben and Tana Weinberger were among the last children who left Neu-Isenburg when the Jewish Women's League Home was forcibly closed. On 11 March they were taken to the Children’s home of the association "Weibliche Fürsorge" at Frankfurt Hans-Thoma-Straße 24. The two toddlers stayed there for another three months.

On June 11, 1942, the twins were deported from Frankfurt together with their mother. The transport with over 1000 people from Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, and the Wiesbaden district had the ghetto Izbica as the destination. In Lublin, working men were selected for forced labor in the Majdanek concentration camp, and the rest were taken either to the Izbica ghetto and later on to the Sobibor extermination camp or directly to the extermination camp where they had two hours to live before they were murdered in the gas chambers (Kingreen, Gewaltsam verschleppt, p. 373 f.). On June 13, 1942 he was murdered in Sobibor.

Ruben Weinberger was one and a half years old at the time of his deportation.
