family

Cukierman was born in 1936 to Max Cukierman from Ożarów and his wife Miriam Latowicka (or Latovicka); his father had set up shop in France in 1932 as a raincoat manufacturer. His brother Henri was born on February 11, 1944 in Nice . In 1962 he married the Israeli Shoschana Goldhart ( Hebrew שושנה גולדהארט ('לב-זהב')), with whom he has four children. The eldest son is a graduate of Bar-Ilan University and teaches Hebrew at the École Maïmonide in Boulogne-Billancourt near Paris. The second son, Edouard Cukierman, is a financier and works in Israel. Roger Cukierman also has two daughters: Annabelle Cukierman is an expert in jewelry, Sandrine Cukierman is a singer and actress.

Max Cukierman was also chairman of the Yiddish-language daily Unzer Wort ( Yiddish אונדזער װאָרט; German: Our word ). This is why his son Roger Cukierman speaks Yiddish at home, using the Yiddish word “human” as a term for dignified being:

“There are people I don't want to argue with. What do you want? That the Jews throw themselves into the sea? I don't play in this category…. I admit that you can have disagreements, but you should stay "human" despite everything . ("Il ya des gens avec lesquels je ne veux même pas discuter. Ils veulent quoi? Que les juifs se jettent eux-même à la mer? Je ne joue pas dans cette catégorie… Je conçois qu'on puisse être en désaccord, mais il faut que le débat reste entre "Mensch" en yiddish: des hommes dignes »)."

job

Cukierman received a Bachelor of Arts (majoring in law) and a PhD (majoring in economics) from ESCP Europe . He lived in Japan for a year and then did his PhD with the thesis Le Capital dans l'économie japonaise . This work was also awarded the “Prix Nogaro” by a jury consisting of Maurice Byé (1905–1968), André Philip and René Capitant . In 1962 his work was published by the Presses universitaires de France in Paris with a foreword by Maurice Byé.

Cukierman held various managerial positions, for example in the Compagnie Financière Edmond de Rothschild , also in the Israel General Bank (a subsidiary of Investec Bank ) and in the Israel 2000 Mutual Fund . He is a member of the executive board of Cukierman & Co. Investment House Ltd., an investment fund company based in Israel, chaired by his son Édouard.

From 1963 Cukierman worked in the Edmond de Rothschild group, where he spent his entire professional career. He was committed to the internationalization of the group and to the further development of investment banking and private banking. Since 1993 he has been chairman of the Edmond de Rothschild group. He was particularly responsible for the company's foundation administration, such as the Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild and the Oeuvre de Protection de l'Enfance Juive Foundation . He has also served on several boards of directors, including Club Med and the Fédération Bancaire Française .
