 "Between the Private and the Collective: Writing 
 Fiction about Social and Political Issues 
 in Israel"\n
 \n
 Presenter: Savyon Liebrecht, Israeli 
 writer and playwright.\n
  \n
 Born in Munich 
 in 1948 to Polish Jewish Holocaust survivor 
 parents, Savyon Liebrecht grew up in Israel 
 and studied philosophy and literature at Tel 
 Aviv University. Her writing focuses on the 
 milieu of survivors, on women and gender in patriarchal 
 Israeli society, on relations between 
 generations, and on the tragic complexities 
 of Jewish-Arab individual relations in Israel. 
 Liebrecht is the author of "Apples from 
 the Desert: Selected Stories" (2000), "A Man 
 and a Woman and a Man" (2003), "A Good Place 
 for the Night: Stories" (2006), and "The Women 
 My Father Knew: A Novel" (2010). Her intense, 
 lyrical, and emotionally complex stories have 
 made her a best-selling writer in Israel.
