About the author
Born in Bamberg in 1884, Felix A. Theilhaber studied medicine in Berlin and Munich and went on to work as a physician, especially in dermatology. He also wrote widely, and library and biographical records describe him as both a doctor and an author.
Theilhaber is remembered for writing about Jewish life in Germany, for his service in the German army during World War I, and for responding to anti-Jewish accusations after the war. Sources also describe him as an early Zionist, and later in life he emigrated to Palestine, where he died in Tel Aviv in 1956.
His career crossed several fields at once: medicine, public debate, and Jewish history. Modern reference sources also note his interest in demography and social questions, which helps explain why his books can feel both personal and political at the same time.
