Samuel Althaus Obituary
Althaus was born in Ciechanow, Poland, and emigrated to the United States in 1949. He became an American citizen in 1954, and was the owner-proprietor of Althaus Delicatessen & Caterers for 46 years until his retirement in 1997.
Althaus was a survivor of the Auschwitz-Birkenau and Dachau concentration camps, and, in recent years, he focused much of his time and energy on Holocaust education. He felt a strong obligation to preserve the memory of the millions of victims of Nazi persecution. In 2000, he published a memoir, Where Is God? Auschwitz-Birkenau to Dachau 1942-1945, and he spoke of his experiences with dozens of schools and organizations. Althaus was presented with the Humanitarian Award by the National Conference for Community and Justice in 2001, and received a Resolution of Recognition from the City of Newport News. He was a fan of football, Louis Armstrong, the NYSE, good food, and good wine; a fiercely competitive poker player; and a staunchly proud and opinionated American.
Althaus is survived by his wife, Marian Astor Althaus; children, Carole and Martin Tanenhaus of Annapolis, Md.; Sheryl and David Luebke of Richmond; and Harry Althaus of Brooklyn, N.Y.; grandchildren, Debora and David Schwartz of Baltimore, Md., and Michael and Jessica Tanenhaus of Annapolis, Md.; and great-grandchildren, Miriam Sara Schwartz, Ita Rachel Schwartz, and Miles Robert Tanenhaus.
There will be a graveside service at 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct, 15, at The Jewish Cemetery of the Virginia Peninsula in the 1800 block of Kecoughtan Road in Hampton.
The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Samuel Althaus Endowed Merit Scholarship in Leadership at Christopher Newport University, 1 University Place, Newport News, VA 23606.
Peninsula Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. View and post condolences on our online guestbook at dailypress.com/guestbooks.

I OFTEN WONDER HOW AND WHERE SAM WAS WHEN I LEFT THE HIDDENWOOD POST OFFICE. I WAS A WINDOW CLERK AT HIDDENWOOD POST OFFICE AND ME AND SAM BECAME FRIENDS. HE WAS A REGULAR CUSTOMER AT MY WINDOW. HE WAS A PERSON WHO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN, LEARN FROM HIM. WHEN HE PROMOTED HIS BOOK, HE SIGNED A COPY IF IT AND GAVE IT TO ME. WHEN THE WINDOW WAS SLOW HE WOULD ALWAYS COME TO MY WINDOW AND SHARE A STORY OR STOP BYE JUST TO SAY HI, IT WAS CUSTOMERS LIKE HIM THAT I WAS ALWAYS HAPPY TO SEE WHEN I WENT TO WORK. HE WAS A NICE MAN. WELL SAM, R.I.P. ONE DAY WHEN MY DAY COMES I HOPE TO SEE YOU AND MY MOM AND ALL THE GREAT ONES THAT HAVE GONE. I WILL ALWAYS TREASURE YOUR BOOK.

He was a great friend of my former father-in-law, Robert locker. It was through Mr. Locher that I met Mr. Althaus. Mr. Althaus prepared the wedding dinner for my first wife, Clarice Locher. He loved America, his family, and friends, and was beloved by many people in the Newport News area. It was an honor and a privilege to have known him.
My condolences to his family.

I met Sam when my Aunt Helen, who was a cook there, introduced me and helped me to get a job as a dishwasher at the Althaus Deli and Restaurant in Newport News, VA. Sam was like a father to everyone and Irvin was funny but wise. Sam and Irvin were always giving me advice. Mrs Marian, Sam's wife, was a very nice refined lady. We were like a family and whenever someone had problems, Sam was always there to help out. He knew all the employees and their spouses and children. We received gifts on holidays. Sam always took care of me. I delivered catered platters, helped out at private parties, and was even at Harry's bar mitzvah. My prayers to the family and thanks for the memories I had the honor of sharing with your loved one.

I met Sam last year. I am a teacher at Toano Middle School for WJCC. He came to our school to talk to the 7th grade class. His story was amazing and the kids said they had learned an invaluable lesson from him. My thoughts go out to the Althaus family. He will be missed but he and his story will not be forgotten.

Sam was a major part of my life. He helped teach me how to play baseball, how to cook, and so many other things. I am eternally grateful for everything he did in my life. The story of his experiences in the Holocaust amazed me, even when I was too young to fully understand what the Holocaust was. Last year, he allowed me to write about him for an English paper. In writing that paper, I was able to explore what he went through and it made me appreciate and look up to him even more than I already did. I had been meaning to give Sam a copy of that paper, but never had the chance to. I know he would have loved to have it. Sam was pretty much the grandfather I never had. Both of my grandfathers died before I was born or when I was very young, and Sam took their places. I am very grateful to have had such a wonderful man love me like he did. He was amazing, and I hope he knew how special he was to me.

I met Sam just in the past 9 months while working at OSC. He came in each day and made us a wonderful chef salad with his special salad dressing. What a wonderful man! He will be so missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. What an honor to have met such an inspiring individual.
October 22, 2009
To Marian and Harry, I am so sorry I missed the service for Mr. Sam. You and Him always were there for my family so thank you very much. I would love to see Harry. My Mom Harriet Solomon worked for him. You will be kept in my prayers. I will be calling you soon. So take care of yourself . Love you Jean Solomon Lyons ( Preacher Girl) Sam gave me a Jewish Bible.

Dear Marion and Family,
I met Sam many years ago, when my husband, Vince, and I ate at Althaus Deli. My daughter, Trevina, teethed on the huge pickles! Sam and Vince loved to talk politics. It seemed like everyone in the city ate there.
Sam spoke at my Rotary club (Rotary Club of Newport News) many years ago, and he did a great job. He was a powerful speaker with a powerful message.
I am sorry that I was out of town when Sam passed, and that I missed his funeral, but Vince attended the wake.
Sincerely, and in sorrow,
Terry and Vince Joseph

Althaus Family: I met Sam and his cousin, Irving, back in Spring of 1964 when I started to work for Retail Merchants which was above the Delicatessen on 28th Street. When they moved the deli to New Market I continued to eat there as well when they moved to their final place in Mid-Town Newport News. On 13 Jan 98 I went to have my "birthday lunch" there only to fine Mr. Authaus had retired and closed the business so we had to go over to "Sammy's"! About three ago I was in Artie & Toni's and saw his book in the showcase and bought it so I could learn of his experiences since I had visited Dachau in 1977 and what an impression his story had on me. Know my thoughts and prayers are with you and his family. He will be missed.

My sympathy the Sam's family. I was pastor of Parkview United Methodist Church from 1971-1980. Sam catered our Sweetheart Banquets through most of those years. I had the privilege of knowing him as a special friend. He indeed was an asset to the community and a special man. I will always remember our times together at the New Market North Deli.
May God's richest blessing be with you Marian and the family.
October 19, 2009
Mr. Althaus was a wonderful man! When I was expecting my first(and only) child and we lived near his deli in the Newmarket Area in the early 70's, my husband and I went there very often, as I didn't like to cook break-fast. One morning when I came in and had my newborn son in my arms, he said, "The breakfast is on me?" That was his way of congratulating us on our new baby; we never forgot that act of kindness. P.S.
We've also bought and read his book; our son, now living in New York also has a copy. Delores and John Wilson

I have had a photograph of Mr. Althaus on my office wall for at least fifteen years. I met Mr. Althaus when he was catering events for Newport News Shipbuilding. My co-workers and I supplied the audio for some of the events. One day Mr. Althaus asked if I could come by and fix his sound system at his place of business. I did and insisted on paying me. I did not want payment, so he insisted on giving a huge chunk of cheese. He was a great friend to Newpoert News Shipbuilding and to America! We will miss him.

Dear Family,
I heard with great sadness the loss of Sam. I never met him, but wish I had. After my mom recieved his book from his family, I read it and was shocked to hear what he went through. His patriotism is truly inspiring. May he finally rest in peace, and God bless his family.

Growing up in Newport News, Saturday was my favorite day. My Father would say let's get in the car and pick up some deli. As a child of seven years', I would walk in to Althaus in New Market and see all the smiling faces, content faces and catch a master at work behind the counter (Irving cutting corned beef) he took so much pride in his work and always had a smile on his face he would glance up momentarily and say hello and go right back to work. In the distance I would see Mr.Althaus greeting my father trading small talk as he kept one eye on everything and everybody, always ready to say hello or thank you for coming and a warm goodbye.
Sam wasn't a relative but I feel as though I've lost an uncle. His hard work, love of life and dedication to community are the lessons that I take from such a wonderful kind and lovable man.

Sam was my friend for 43 years. He was a great influence on a young Lawyer who, at the age of 23, thought he knew everything. My first office was on 28th Street, across from the Delly. He tought me many things, not about Law, but about people. Thank you Sam.

Mr. Althaus was an icon in this community. His life is a testament to courage, humility, and wisdom. I consider him a real hero of our times. He defeated the greatest enemy of the 20th century. And of course I always enjoyed eating at the DELI!

Few events more deeply impacted my life as a child than meeting Mr. Althaus in his delicatessen with his warm and smiling face, and seeing those five numbers tattooed on his arm, and knowing what they meant, and understanding a small fraction of the unspeakable horrors he had endured not that many years before that moment. My deepest condolences are extended to his family. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear Aunt Marion & Harry & Family,
As a young child, I will always remeber Uncle Sam conducting the beautiful sedar at Grandmother's house. What fun it was to be with Family! As I grew into adult hood, I realized what a magnificent man Uncle Sam was. Through my son, Martin, I even got closer to Uncle Sam. Martin and I will miss you "greatly", but will always REMEMBER your love and kindness and your MAGNIFICENT CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY!! Your strength and courage to share your Holocaust Story will live on FOREVER!! May Aunt Marion, Harry & Family find much comfort through Family & Friends.

I shall never forget the time spent with Sam and Marian both in the delicatessian and in their home. Sam was a dear friend and will be missed greatly. I will also remember his gratitude to me and my family during my children's growing up. He always remembered their birthdays and always had a gingerbread house for them at Christmas time. I also remember being invited by Sam to my first Bar Mitsva. (Harry's) Words cannot explain the loss I feel with his passing. Marian, may God give you and the family strength during these trying times.

My son participated on the Essay contest of "where is God" and learned a lot doing so. We had the pleasure to meet Mr. Althaus at the Jewish Community Center on one of his speech and for the nomination of the winner for the essay. After listening to him in person my children wanted to have something else from Mr. Althaus and they wanted to get the book. My son (12) slept with that book nest to him for weeks. I am sure Mr. Althaus made a positive impact on so many people and we appreciated him in so many ways. He was a man of courage and a man of truth. We will miss you! The Rodrigue’z family and The Ruckman's boys. My sympathy to the family.

The late, great Julie Conn introduced me to Mr. Althaus many years ago while we shared a meal at the deli, which might have been Coach Conn's favorite place to eat. Even then I could tell that Sam was a man of substance. My sympathy goes out to the Althaus family. May God bless you.

Be encouraged and blessed.

I will always remember Sam as the OSC salad man. From the very first day I started working at the office in 2002, he was so very friendly. He always kissed me on both cheeks and talked with me every day when I saw him. He is wonderful! I am thankful to have known him. One of the quotes I will never forget is when he would say to me and Ruth all the time "I don't cheat, I don't lie, and I don't play games". That's our Sam. My condolences go out to Sam's family and my prayers are with you all. He will be greatly missed.

The Althaus family is in my thoughts and prayers at this time. When I was in high school, Mr. Althaus invited me into his home and allowed me to interview him about his experiences as a Holocaust survivor for the school newspaper.

Sam was a man of great wit, knowledge and grace. I remember as a boy going to Althaus Deli [near the Newmarket Bowl] whenever my family and I would vacation from West Virginia.
His deli had the best stuff. He and his family were the best hosts of any eatery in Newport News. When the deli shutdown, we mourned its closure. Now that Sam has gone to our Lord, I mourn and pray that his family be comforted- that his legacy live on well beyond our time in this world. He saw the worst side of mankind; he experienced the best of humanity, for he contributed so much to everyone around him. Shalom, Sam; shalom.

I am so sad to hear of Sam's passing! When I feel life is hard or unfair, I pull out his book "Where is God?" and try, for a moment, to carry his burden and feel his strength. I am thankful to have met him, and even more thankful that my son got to meet him and was honored to call him friend. To his family, I say, how lucky you are to have had him in your lives! May your memories of him bring you joy and light, even during this difficult time.
October 15, 2009
Dear Marian and Familly, Sam was a Virginia Icon of wisom, culinary talent, and support to all he embraced. He fed many tables on occasiohns like this, and for happy times like Weddings and Bar and Bat Mitzvah Celebrations, Anniversaries, Business Holiday Parties and you name it, he and Irvin were there with delicious deli platters. and much, much more. I would call and say, "I need something for my Mom, my Aunt " and he would have it ready for me to pick up whenever I got there. And it was always quality. This community has lost a great soul whose story is for future generations to respect and preserve. I love you, Sam,

To All the Althaus family,
Sam Althaus, a true gentleman and American Patriot, embodied the spirit of the Phoenix. Reborn in the USA, Sam turned a love for life into a life of love. Everytime I visited Althaus Deli, I felt like part of the family and sensed the genuine love Sam had for his customers, friends and employees. His smile will be missed. So Where is God? It may just be that God is at this moment sharing a Reuben with chips, crunchy kosher pickle and a Dr. Brown's Creme Soda with one of his finest creations, Sam Althaus.
May God continue to bless all who knew him. With deepest sympathies,
