Lizzie Doron (born 1953) is an Israeli author. [1]

Biography

Her mother was a German Holocaust survivor. Doron was born in Israel and served in the Israeli Defense Force. She also lived on a kibbutz. She eventually moved to Tel Aviv. One of her children now lives in Germany. [1] Doron formerly worked as a linguist at the University of Tel Aviv. [2] In the fall term of 2019 she was the twelfth Friedrich Dürrenmatt Guest Professor for World Literature [3] at the University of Bern.

Contents

Doron writes about her family history, personal experiences and the Arab–Israeli conflict. [1] Her book, "Peaceful Times", is about a woman living in Tel Aviv who forgets her childhood in World War II. [4] Doron has also written about her changing views of the country. [5]

Positions

Doron said in a 2005 interview that she no longer shares some of the classical Zionist convictions, such as the view that Arabs, rather the internal Israeli Jewish conflicts, were the country's main problem. [2] One of her worries is the growing weight of religion in Israeli society. [2] All this makes her pessimistic about the future, which has to be approached with radical openness and more detached from the traumas of the past. [2]

Awards and recognition

Other than in Germany and Switzerland, as of 2008, Doron's recognition in Israel had still been modest. [6]
