Ralph Giordano

    March 23, 1923 – December 10, 2014

    Ralph Giordano was a German writer and publicist whose work was profoundly shaped by his experiences with Nazi persecution and subsequent disillusionment with political ideologies. His most renowned semi-autobiographical novel chronicles the fate of a family of mixed heritage, including Jewish members, from the late 19th century through World War II, exploring themes of identity and survival amidst tumultuous historical events. In his later publicistic writings, Giordano focused on warning against the dangers of neo-Nazism and offered critical perspectives on integration and multiculturalism, earning him a reputation as a provocative and uncompromising voice.
