description: "Benjamin Israel Murmelstein was an Austrian rabbi. He was one of 17 community rabbis in Vienna in 1938 and the only one remaining in Vienna by late 1939. An important figure and board member of the Jewish group in Vienna during the early stages of the Second World War, he was also an \"Ältester\" of the Judenrat in the Theresienstadt concentration camp after 1943. He was the only \"Judenältester\" to survive the Holocaust. He helped thousands of Jews in emigrating and is accused of being a Nazi collaborator."
