Henryk Broder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henryk Modest Broder (born August 20, 1946) is a Jewish-German journalist and author. He mainly writes about Jewish topics, National Socialism, and the German left. Stylistically, his texts are usually a well-researched and informed polemic. Broder writes for the magazine Der Spiegel and the daily Berlin newspaper Der Tagesspiegel. He is co-editor of the Der Jüdische Kalender (The Jewish Calendar), a compilation of quotes and texts relating to Jewish-German culture, which is published annually.

Born in Katowice, Poland, Broder moved to Cologne with his family in 1958. Here, he studied economics and law. In the end of the 1960s he took over the St. Pauli-Nachrichten, a newspaper in Hamburg, along with Günter Wallraff and the photogropher Günter Zint, in order to agitate the working class of the city. In the 1970s, he wrote for the satirical magazine pardon. In 1981, he worked in Israel for a short time, but continued to write for such periodicals as Die Zeit, profil, Die Weltwoche, and Süddeutsche Zeitung. In the 1980s he also hosted the television show Leute, which ran on Sender Freies Berlin, along with Elke Heidenreich. He wrote a series of books which dealt with the relationship between Germans and Jews. Broder supported the Iraq War and the overthrow of the anti-Israeli regime under Hussein from the beginning.
