Pro-Palestinian Holocaust survivor Felicia Langer dies at 87
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFelicia Langer, an Israeli-German Holocaust survivor who won both plaudits and attacks for her activism and legal work in defense of Palestinians, has died in Germany at the age of 87.
She rose to prominence in the 1960s and 70s defending Palestinian detainees from the West Bank and Gaza Strip, also authoring several books highly critical of Israeli forces.
The left-wing activist — who drew much scorn for calling Israel an “apartheid” state — in 1990 emigrated to Germany, where she became a citizen in 2008.
