When I was about 13-14 years old, my father said, ‘When you get married, I would like you to keep the name Schulvater as a sort of middle name’, because an ancestor in the 1800s had been a leader of the Jewish community in Berlin. He thinks that he took this name because ‘Schul’ is Yiddish for synagogue and ‘Vater’ is father. Now I am afraid I was somewhat naughty and didn’t in fact use the name. By the time I got married, it was wartime, and having a German name wasn’t the most sensible thing. Also, it was quite difficult when I gave my name because I had to spell it out, usually 3 times.
