• Meier_Schwarz abstract "Meier Schwarz (born 1926 in Nuremberg) is an Israeli former plant physiologist.Schwarz is the child of Jewish parents. His father, Ludwig Schwarz, merchant, born in Egenhausen/Ansbach, was a German army officer in the First World War, and was highly decorated. Ludwig Schwarz was board member of the Orthodox Jewish Adas Isroel congregation in Nuremberg. He was murdered by the Nazis in September 1937. According to official records, Schwarz’s mother Meta Schwarz, née Stern, who was born in Wiesenbach/Rothenburg, died in 1940 due to a "shortage of medicine." In fact the Nazis did not provide Jews with medicine. Schwarz’s only brother Joseph was head of the Hakhshara in Neuendorf/Fürstenwalde. He was murdered in 1943 in Auschwitz.Following the Night of Broken Glass in November 1938, the family succeeded in organizing Meier Schwarz’s emigration. He managed to flee in a Kindertransport to Jerusalem. At the age of 15, he helped establish the Hafetz Hayim kibbutz and was an active member of the Jewish underground organization the Hagana. He also helped to organize and implement the illegal immigration of Jews to Palestine after the Second World War (Aliyah Bet). At the age of 22 he was the Hagana commander of one of the three Exodus ships, the "Ocean Vigour."After the establishment of the state of Israel, Schwarz worked as an educator and in agriculture. For 20 years he lived in Kibbutz Hafetz Haim, and spent another 14 years in Petah Tikva before moving to Jerusalem in 1973. To this day he lives with his wife, a survivor of Auschwitz, in Jerusalem’s Old City. They have seven children, as well as many grand children and great grand children.Among Schwarz’s academic achievements is the development of hydroculture (soilless culture) which makes it possible to grow plants in desert areas using minimal irrigation. In this capacity he received a doctorate in plant physiology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He worked as a researcher and advisor in this field in Germany, Singapore, Chile and United States (where he worked for NASA).He was head of the Department for Soilless Cultures at the Jacob Blaustein Institute for Desert Research in Beer Sheva, an inspector for the ministry of education for biology lessons at high schools in Israel, and had a teaching position for 9 years at the Bar-Ilan University. Furthermore, for 12 years, he was head of the teachers' seminary for science at the Jerusalem College for Women. Meier Schwarz was member of the board of trustees of the University of Haifa.Schwarz was President of the International Society for Soilless Cultures (ISOSC), and founder of the Natural Sciences Department of Teacher Education at the Jerusalem College and the Jerusalem Technology College. He also served as President of The International Society of Religious Researchers.Since 1988, as the Director of the Synagogue Memorial and Beit Ashkenaz organizations in Jerusalem, Schwarz has been leading a project whose aim is to publish memorial books for the former synagogues of Germany and Austria, and the Jewish communities who built them. He works with international partners and universities in this capacity. Eight memorial books have been published thus far.Prof. em. Dr. Schwarz is a representative of CENTRA, the organization of Jewish-German immigrants to Israel who arrived in the 1930s. He represents the Survivors of German origin in the Union of Survivor Organization and Yad Vashem.".
