Asher Ben Nathan

Asher Ben Nathan was an Israeli diplomat who served as the ambassador to West Germany during a time of significant tension and activism in the late 1960s. He fled from Nazi-occupied Vienna in 1938 and faced considerable opposition during his tenure, including protests from student activists who labeled him a 'fascist.' Despite these challenges, Ben Nathan advocated for negotiations to achieve peace in the Middle East while navigating the complexities of Israeli-German relations.
