Simon Hammelburg
Simon Hammelburg (Amsterdam, February 28, 1952) is a Dutch entertainer, songwriter, author and journalist. He worked at the news department of [AVRO], Dutch Radio and Television. In the early eighties he became the U.S. Bureau Chief for [Dutch] and Belgium radio and TV in New York as well as several newspapers and weeklies.

Prior to the first Gulf War (1991) he produced the video clip [‘Shalom from Holland’] together with producer [Ralph Inbar] (deceased) and film maker [Floris Sijbesma] (deceased). The clip (see Youtube) was a token of solidarity by some 200 performers and musicians from all over the world to the Israeli people who would be threatened by missiles, fired from Iraq. Simon Hammelburg wrote the song together with his co- songwriter Ron Klipstein. The clip became an instant hit in Holland and Israel, and later around the world after it was shown on international TV networks during Gulf War I.

With other celebrities he co-authored several books, including “My Judaism”. His break though as an author came in 1996 with the publication of his book [“Kaddish for Daisy, memories of Holocaust-survivors and their children.”] It is based on 1200 interviews with Holocaust-survivors and their off spring. The book has yet to appear in English and German because his publisher (Kok in Kampen) is a small, high quality company with practically no contacts in England, the United Sates and Germany. A film, based on the book was cancelled because the producer suddenly passed away at a young age but others are negotiating with Hammelburg on the rights.

1200 of his songs were recorded on records, Cd’s, for radio, TV or used as film music.

Simon Hammelburg resides in France and Spain.

Hi. First of all, there is no need to email other editors. In fact, many editors find it rude and intrusive. Second, you don't have a Wikipedia page. Even your user page, which you have pretty good control over, isn't yours, and can be blocked at any time by admins if they feel you are abusing your privileges. Third, the article about you was edited yesterday, because an editor removed tags without improving the article. Tags should remain until the issue they highlight is pointed out. Even then, as in the case of the article about you, the autobiography tag should remain, to alert readers that the writer of the article is biased. Hope this helps.
