Herman M. Albert (August 15, 1901 – February 4, 1947) was a Jewish-American lawyer and politician.

Life

Albert was born on August 15, 1901, in New York City, New York, the son of Adolph Albert and Rose Alter.[1]

Albert attended the College of the City of New York and graduated from the New York University School of Law with an LL.B. in 1922. He then began a general law practice in New York City.[2] In 1925, he was elected to the New York State Assembly as a Democrat, representing the Bronx County 4th District. He served in the Assembly in 1926,[3] 1927,[4] 1928,[5] 1929, 1930, 1931,[6] 1932,[7] and 1933.[8] He then served as Bronx County Register from 1934 to 1941. He was re-elected for a third four-year term in 1941, but the office of County Register was abolished that year and replaced with a city-wide Register appointed by the Mayor. His last law office before his death was at 1501 Broadway.[9]

Albert was a director of the Bronx Division of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropic Societies and the Bronx YMHA, a founder and member of the Bronx Lodge of the Free Sons of Israel, an associate of various communal and civic societies in the Bronx,[2] and a member of the Bronx County Bar Association and the Congress of Galician Zionists of America.[1]

Albert died in Montefiore Hospital from a five-year illness on February 4, 1947.[9] He was buried in Mount Zion Cemetery.[10]
