André Neher
1914–1988
Born in Obernai, Germany (now France), André Neher had an early academic interest focused on German literature, but the events of the Holocaust led him to theological–philosophical inquiry instead. During World War II, Neher fled to Brive-la-Gaillarde, where he became a member of Rabbi David Feuerwerker’s community. Neher’s most influential writings engage the question of divine silence in the aftermath of the Holocaust. He also collaborated with his wife, Renée Neher-Bernheim, on several Jewish historical studies.
