I am Imanuel Marcus, The Berlin Spectator's founder and main editor. Before I came to Berlin, I lived all over the place, including in former Yugoslavia, where I was a war reporter, in the U.S., as a foreign correspondent for German and Swiss radio stations, in Bulgaria and Mexico. But I am a Hamburger.
