On 27 November 2024, two stumbling stones were laid for Jakob and Bertha Weinschenk on the initiative of their great-grandchild Yaakov Ben-Ze’ev. The couple assisted in the founding of the Jewish Orthodox Adass Jisroel association. The laying was sponsored by their great-grandson Yaakov Ben-Ze’ev. On 10 September 1942, they were deported to Theresienstadt. Jakob was murdered there; Bertha survived the Shoah.

Jakob Weinschenk was born on 26 October 1863 in Windsbach in Middle Franconia. He was the son of Hessel and Mina (née Rothschild) Weinschenk. In 1898, he married Bertha Gutmann, born on 11 May 1869 in Öttingen in Middle Franconia. She was the daughter of Nachum and Fanny (née Wursinger) Gutmann. The Weinschenks had two daughters: Pauline, born on 24 July 1896 and Hannchen (Chana), born on 11 February 1899.

In February 1911, the couple moved to Nuremberg. They first lived in the Ziegelgasse and then moved on 3 August 1933 to Weidenkellerstrasse 4. The Weinschenks assisted in the founding of the Jewish Orthodox Adass Jisroel association. The couple donated Rimonim for a Torah Roll of the synagogue, which are today preserved at Yad Vashem.

On 10 September 1942, they were deported to Theresienstadt. Jakob was murdered there on 3 March 1943. Bertha, who celebrated her 75th birthday in Theresienstadt, survived the Shoah.
