Michel Friedman on his childhood and anti-Semitism in Germany

Until he was 18, Michel Friedman lived as a stateless person with a UN passport. With the star-Author David Baum Friedman talks about being different, a Germany that has always made itself too comfortable with its perpetrators – and about memories of Oskar Schindler, who saved his parents from the Nazis.

Dear Mr. Friedman, how would you describe your childhood?
My childhood is a sad, complicated one. Also an overwhelming, lonely one, one that was shaped by the feeling of alienation.
