He was the star of “In Heaven, Underground”, the documentary about the Weissensee Jewish cemetery in Berlin: Rabbi William Wolff. Now, the award-winning filmmaker Britta Wauer has not only dedicated a special film to Rabbi Wolff, one of the most unusual Rabbi in the world, but has also put together this book with the memories and insights of this charming person - fascinating, entertaining and inspiring. Born 1927 to a Jewish family in Berlin, he lived in England from the age of 12. Willy Wolff worked as a journalist before he became a Rabbi after he turned 50. As a political correspondent of a number of English daily papers he covered world politics closely for three decades. He travelled to China and the Soviet Union with the British Foreign Secretary and met European heads of government. He gave up this life in order to satisfy his wish to become a Rabbi. From 2003, Willy Wolff, in his capacity as Sate Rabbi of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, looked after the Jewish communities in Schwerin, Rostock and Wismar whose membership consists almost exclusively of immigrants from the former Soviet Union. His own home, however, is near London.
