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

Tana Weinberger was born on November 6, 1940, in Frankfurt am Main. After her birth, her mother stayed with her and her twin brother in “Heim Isenburg” for three months. Chlothilde returned to her mother in Langendernbach in the district of Limburg.

Tana and Ruben Weinberger were among the last children who left Neu-Isenburg when the Jewish Women's League Home was forcibly closed. On March 11, 1942, they were taken to the children's home of the "Weiblichen Fürsorge" association at Frankfurt Hans-Thoma-Straße 24. The two toddlers stayed there for 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 Izbica ghetto as the destination. In Lublin, working men were selected for forced labor in the Majdanek concentration camp, while the other deportees were taken either to the Izbica ghetto and from there 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 she was murdered in Sobibor.

Tana was one and a half years old at the time of her deportation.
