Alexander Lebenstein (born November 3, 1927 in Haltern, Germany; died 28 January 2010 in Richmond, Virginia) was a German-American Holocaust survivor.

This is why Lebenstein went back to his birthplace Haltern, where he was compelled to leave the city again.

Two students from Haltern had written him a letter saying that they just learned about the Holocaust in the classroom.
Haltern (also: Haltern am See, Haltern at the lake) is a town and a municipality in the district of Recklinghausen, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
With the connection of the Boxtel Railway to the bridge over the Rhine at Wesel before the First World War, a long-distance connection was established on the (London–) Vlissingen–Wesel–Osnabrück–Berlin–Eydtkuhnen (now Chernyshevskoye)–Saint Petersburg route.
•
The construction of the bridge over the Rhine at Wesel did not begin until the much-needed and lucrative Elbe Bridge was completed between Harburg and Hamburg.
North of Alpen it had a grade-separated crossing over the former Haltern–Venlo railway, a section of the "Paris–Hamburg railway" of the former Cologne-Minden Railway Company (Cöln-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, CME).
