The Goethe-Institut Milan presents the German author Shelly Kupferberg in collaboration with Keller Editore.
Shelly Kupferberg talks with Giovanna Canzo about her novel 'Isidor: A Jewish life'
Isidor. A Jewish Life (Diogenes 2022) - Isidor (Keller Editore 2024)
Isidor - previously named Israel - was born 1886 into a poor, strictly observant Jewish family. As a young man, he studied inVienna, a city known for its anti-Semitic leanings even before the rise of National Socialism.
As the successful head of a leather goods factory, he managed to make it to the upper echelons of society and, endowed with the title Councillor of Commerce, he belonged to Vienna’s richest and most educated class - the Viennese elite. But neither wealth nor fame could save Isidor from persecution by the Nazis. Life as he knew it ended as a result of the Nazi regime.
Shelly Kupferberg recounts her great-grand uncle Isidor‘s extraordinary life, after having discovered his story by way of her Jewish grandfather Walter‘s letters. This led her on a journey of intensive research that culminated in a novel about the tragic fate of a Jewish family under the Nazi dictatorship.
Shelly Kupferberg, born 1974 in Tel Aviv, grew up in West Berlin and studied journalism, theater and musicology. She is an author, journalist and moderator for cultural programs at Deutschlandfunk Kultur und RBB Kultur.
