Gabriel leaves
Gabriel Laub (born October 24, 1928 in Bochnia , Poland ; † February 3, 1998 in Hamburg ) was a multilingual (Polish, Russian, Czech and German) journalist, satirist and aphorist of Polish-Jewish origin.
Life
Laub grew up near Kraków and fled with his parents in 1939 because of the family's Jewish origins from the Germans to the Soviet Union, where the family was deported to Uzbekistan and interned. In 1946 he studied journalism in Prague , where he worked as an editor and writer until 1968. In 1967 he published his first anthology with aphorisms and short stories. After the crackdown on the Prague Spring , he fled to Hamburg. There his aphorism collections appeared in German.
He received numerous awards, including the short story prize of the city of Arnsberg in 1971 and the Irmgard Heilmann prize in 1991 . Gabriel Laub was buried next to his parents' grave in Israel.
