Perspective
Dov Eichenwald is the son of Abraham Zvi, a Holocaust survivor who survived Auschwitz, and Sarah (Haltovsky) who was born in Jerusalem. He grew up in Bnei Brak, attended Haroeh high school in Ramat Gan, and served in the IDF as an investigating officer in the Army's military police. Following his release he began to study for a BA at Bar Ilan University but did not finish due to a serious injury he suffered while serving as a reserve commander during the 1982 Lebanon War. In the aftermath of the Tyre headquarters bombings, Eichenwald was trapped under rubble for nine hours and was rescued in serious condition.[1]
Since childhood, Eichenwaldhelped his father operate the family business 'Hemed Books', a small independent publishing house specializing in non-fiction literature, and as an adult he joined the management. In 1994 a partnership was formed between 'Hemed Books' and Yedioth Ahronoth thus founding 'Miscal - Publishing' known today as Yedioth Books. Eichenwald is CEO of the publishing house ever since.[2]
