Famous people with Gad first name

Gad Beck

Gerhard "Gad" Beck (30 June 1923 – 24 June 2012) was a remarkable Israeli-German educator, author, activist, and Holocaust survivor. Born in Berlin, Germany, he grew up in a predominantly Jewish immigrant neighborhood and faced antisemitism from a young age. Despite being of partial Jewish ancestry, Beck was not deported with other German Jews and remained in Berlin, where he joined an underground effort to help Jews escape to Switzerland. Unfortunately, he was betrayed and subsequently interrogated and interned in a Jewish transit camp. After World War II, Beck played a crucial role in facilitating the emigration of Jewish survivors to Israel. In the late 1970s, he met Julius Laufer, with whom he spent 35 years. His impactful life story was captured in his autobiography, "An Underground Life: Memoirs of a Gay Jew in Nazi Berlin," and he was also featured in the HBO documentary film "Paragraph 175." Beck passed away at the age of 88, leaving behind a legacy of resilience and courage. His contributions to education and advocacy continue to inspire and educate people worldwide.
