Helmut Schmidt is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Chancellor of West Germany (1974-1982)
Helmut Schmidt, Chancellor of West Germany (1974–1982), had partial Jewish ancestry: his father was the illegitimate son of a Jewish banker, Ludwig Gumpel. The family kept this secret, and Schmidt — raised Protestant — only publicly confirmed it in 1984 after Valéry Giscard d'Estaing disclosed it. He did not identify as Jewish religiously.
