About the author
Born in Bamberg in 1884, Felix Aaron Theilhaber became a physician and later built a reputation as a dermatologist, writer, and public intellectual. Reliable biographical records describe him as a German-Jewish doctor and author, and also note his strong commitment to Zionism.
Theilhaber wrote on a wide mix of subjects, including medicine, demography, social questions, and Jewish life. He is especially remembered for examining the condition of German Jews in the early 20th century and for producing works that combined statistical observation with sharp cultural and political concern.
After his years in Germany, he emigrated to Palestine in 1935 and died in Tel Aviv in 1956. Today he is often remembered not only as a doctor, but as a restless and wide-ranging thinker whose books preserve an important record of Jewish experience in his era.
