Gilad Margalit

Gilad Margalit (; 1959 in Haifa, Israel – 23 July 2014) was an Israeli historian, writer, and professor in the Department of General History at the University of Haifa.

Margalit's academic research focused on various aspects of post-war Germany and its process of coming to terms with the Nazi past (''Vergangenheitsbewältigung''), including antisemitism and attitudes to ethnic minorities — Romani, Turks and Jews. He particularly examined expressions and reflections of the Germans dealing with this matter. Margalit also worked on an oral history project about the Turks in Germany and their process of creating a collective German-Turkish identity. Provided by Wikipedia
