After the war, Becker's father took him to East Berlin, where they were among the few surviving Jews who chose to stay in Germany. An acclaimed screenwriter and novelist, Becker won several literary prizes including the Heinrich-Mann and the Charles Veillon Prizes for Jacob the Liar. He is also the author of the novels Sleepless Days, Bronstein's Children, and The Boxer as well as the collection The Wall. He died in 1997.Leila Vennewitz was the distinguished translator of Heinrich Böll and other postwar German writers, including Jurek Becker and Martin Walser.
