Legends and Legacies from Denver to Berlin

Abstract

143 Sunday, December 26, 2010 Dear Renée, What a happy coincidence that Clare Kinberg put us in touch with each other. To introduce myself: I was born in Zimbabwe to a family of conservative Jewish Baltic origin; spent my childhood in South Africa and London and studied mathematics before becoming a journalist and writer. I am a British citizen. Having lived in Berlin for nearly 30 years, I have often written about “being Jewish in Germany” and have also participated in several interviews, films etc. I am also actively involved in the anti-racist movement here and the fight against anti-Semitism. You can find work of mine on the net at my website: http://karenmargolis.wordpress.com/ Looking forward to hearing from you, and best wishes for the festive season,
