Timeline

1969

His mother was Jewish and a socialist, and left Poland in 1969 after the purge of Jews from positions in the Communist apparatus.

Much of his mother's side of the family was killed in the Holocaust.

He has said he felt like a stranger in Germany, and though German is his native language, he never felt accepted as a "true German" by his peers.

1982

Yascha Benjamin Mounk (born 10 June 1982) is a German-American political scientist and author.

2003

Mounk read history at Trinity College, Cambridge, and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2003.

He then received a PhD from Harvard University in the United States, with the dissertation The Age of Responsibility: On the Role of Choice, Luck, and Personal Responsibility in Contemporary Politics and Philosophy.

He remained in the US as a lecturer on government, and was named a senior fellow in the Political Reform Program at the think tank New America.

2014

He cited the lack of helpfulness of German institutions to refugees, the passive attitude of SPD leaders and other parts of the party during the Crimea crisis in 2014, and the SPD's policy on Greece, which he called a "betrayal of the social democratic dream of a united Europe".

2015

In 2015, he resigned from the party, doing so by publishing an open letter to then-chairman Sigmar Gabriel.

2018

In a February 2018 interview published in Süddeutsche Zeitung, Mounk stated that he had changed his position on nationalism.

He initially considered it a relic of the past that must be overcome, but he now advocates an "inclusive nationalism" to head off the threat of aggressive nationalism.

On the German television newscast Tagesthemen, he stated that Germany is on a "historically unique experiment, namely to transform a mono-ethnic and mono-cultural democracy into a multi-ethnic one".

In the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Mounk advised the "liberal camp" to adopt this inclusive nationalism, to foster a multi-ethnic and democratic society: "The key ... is the adoption of the populist demand that people and nations should again feel they have control of their lives or their destiny."
