Gad Granach (born 1915) is the son of German actor Alexander Granach known for his roles in Ninotchka, and For Whom the Bell Tolls. Gad Granach fled Germany at the age of twenty-one during the rise of Nazism, immigrating to the then-British Mandate of Palestine in 1936. He currently resides in Jerusalem and has published a memoir entitled Heimat los! Aus dem Leben eines juedischen Emigranten recounting his early life in Berlin and subsequent life in Israel. An English edition Where is Home? Stories from the Life of a German-Jewish Emigre is forthcoming.
