When they narrowly escaped the Third Reich and found refuge in Britain, Peter Gumbel’s parents and grandparents cast off their German Jewish heritage to become a perfectly British family. Cricket, Marmite and Church of England. Two generations later, deeply unsettled by Brexit, Gumbel reaches out to Germany again in search of a new passport – and a reckoning with history. In conversation with Isabelle Roughol, Gumbel explores the fragility of identity and who we still are when we can no longer recognize the nations we call home. It’s the story of one family and the story of Europe. Show notes: 00:00 Intro01:47 "Home is where I am"03:14 From the Third Reich to Cool Britannia06:35 How Brexit tore through his identity07:56 Choosing a new passport11:21 Coming to terms with a German Jewish heritage15:10 How identity diverges within a single family 17:09 Reconnecting (or not) with a Jewish identity22:57 How to become a Borderline member24:06 His relationship with Britain since Brexit29:26 Could this all happen again?32:08 OutroSources:Citizens of Everywhere: Searching for Identity in the Age of Brexit, by Peter Gumbel.

He has spent most of his career as a journalist for US publications including the Wall Street Journal, Time, and Fortune. He is the author of four books on France, including a best-selling critique of the French education system.Gumbel's latest essay, Citizens of Everywhere, is an account of why he acquired German citizenship eighty years after his German-Jewish grandparents fled Nazi persecution and started a new life in England. It’s a European tale which explores questions of identity at a time when Germany has replaced Britain as the hope-bearer in Europe.Peter's career started at Reuters news agency on London's famed Fleet Street. He was soon posted to Brussels and Copenhagen.The Wall Street Journal recruited Gumbel in 1984 as a correspondent in Bonn. He spent the next 16 years at the paper, working in New York, Moscow, Paris, Berlin, and Los Angeles.Peter moved to Paris in 2002 to cover the European economy and business for Time and Fortune.He has won a number of journalism awards, including two from the Overseas Press Club of America. In January 2006, the London-based Work Foundation named him Journalist of the Year.He taught journalism at Sciences Po for a decade starting in 2005 and spent three years working in the university’s administration, including as the communications director.Since 2015, he has been working as the editorial director at a global consulting firm.Grasset published his first French book, French Vertigo, in 2006. His second, On achève bien les écoliers (They Shoot School Kids, Don’t They?), came out in 2010. It’s his examination of the demoralising French school culture, and it made the best-seller list. He followed up with two further books on French education: Elite Academy (France’s Got Talent), on the culture of elitism in higher education; and Ces écoles pas comme les autres (French School without Tears), which examines alternatives to French state schools and the lessons they could teach the system.
