Hermann Levin Goldschmidt

Philosopher Hermann Levin Goldschmidt was born in Berlin but left for Switzerland in 1938. There he began his studies and became friends with many eminent members of Zurich’s political and artistic circles. In the late 1940s, he worked with several other Jewish philosophers, including Martin Buber, to develop the philosophy of dialogue. In 1990, Goldschmidt and his wife Mary Bollag founded the Stiftung Dialogik (Dialogue Foundation) to further philosophical research and scholarship on German and Swiss Jewish history.
