Uri J. Nachimson was born in Szczecin, Poland, in 1947, and two years later, his parents emigrated to Israel. As a young boy, he loved to write, photograph, and paint, and in 1966, he was drafted into the Israeli army, where he served as a war photographer in the Northern Command. He participated in the six-day war as a photographer in combat, and his photographs were displayed at various exhibitions.
His travels and adventures around the world are recorded in the various books he has written that, as of now, are published. As an adventurer from birth, he wandered around in Prague as crowds demonstrated in front of Soviet tanks. His travels to Egypt are the inspiration for his book, Seeds of Love.
When he went back to Poland in 1990 to seek his roots, he was deeply affected by the attitude of the Poles towards the Jews both during and after World War II and decided to research the history of the Jews in Poland during that era. Thus the trilogy was born: Lilly's Album, The Polish Patriot, and Identity. The book The Polish Patriot, was translated and published in Italian and Polish.
Two of his books are in the library of the Holocaust Museum in Washington, and those who are interested can read them for free.
Uri's grandmother, Ida Friedberg, was the granddaughter of the Jewish writer A.S. Friedberg, editor of the Polish Jewish newspaper Hazefira, as well as the author of many books. As a teenager, Uri was greatly influenced by A.S. Friedberg's writings, where the author describes his imaginary journeys to different countries. Uri decided to experience it for himself to be able to tell them in his books.
Twenty years ago, Uri decided to relocate to Tuscany, Italy, where he lives with his wife. He has two sons, a daughter, and is the proud grandfather of seven grandchildren. While in Cortona, he wrote Two Margheritas and Broken Hearts on Boulevard Unirii, which was recently translated into Italian.
"As long as I was busy raising the children and supporting my family, I could not do serious writing, however, since I settled in Cortona, I have dedicated a lot of time to creative writing, and the words just flow by themselves.".
