About the Author

Rafael Seligmann

Rafael Seligmann, born in Tel Aviv in 1947, immigrated to Germany with his parents at the age of ten. He established the genre of the contemporary German-Jewish novel, with works such as "Der Musterjude" (The Model Jew) and "Der Milchmann" (The Milkman). As a non-fiction author, freelance journalist, columnist, and editor-in-chief, he is considered one of Germany's most respected political voices. He is the publisher of "Jewish Voice from Germany," the largest Jewish newspaper outside of Israel. His three-volume history of the Seligmann family has been published by Langen Müller.
