Biography
Hochberg was born in Ness Ziona, Ottoman-ruled Palestine (present day Israel) in 1897. He studied agriculture at the Mikveh Israel agricultural school, to the south of Tel Aviv, and then at Utrecht University. After completing his studies abroad, he returned to Palestine and became a teacher at Mikveh Israel.
Hochberg was married to Hannah Rozanski. Their eldest son Dan was killed in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War at age 17, and their youngest son Natan was one of the founders of the Mikveh Israel Winery. Hannah died in 1955.
Hochberg created a number of new varieties of vine, the first of which he called "Dan ben Hannah" (Dan son of Hannah), named after his son Dan and wife Hannah.

The linked authority identifier is Q6998651. VIAF identifies the subject as 297038493. The Library of Congress control number is nr98001000. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
