Growing Up in the Rhineland, Germany

D. John Shaw

Chapter 1 in Sir Hans Singer, 2002, pp 3-4 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Hans Wolfgang Singer was born on 29 November 1910 in Elberfeld in the Rhineland of Germany, which is now part of the town of Wuppertal. He was brought up as a member of a minority within a minority within a minority — in a Jewish community, within a Protestant enclave, in a largely Roman Catholic population. Identifying with groups that were oppressed or discriminated against, and with ‘under-dog’ minorities, was strongly impressed and bred into him by early experience.1
