About Julia Voss

Born 1974. Julia Voss is a German journalist, art historian and opinion journalist.

Julia Voss (born 1974) is a German journalist and scientific historian. She is a writer and art critic who works at the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

Early life and education Voss was born in Frankfurt am Main, West Germany. She majored in modern German literature, art history and philosophy at University of Freiburg, Humboldt University in Berlin and at Goldsmiths College in London. In her article, called "Jim Button saves the theory of evolution" ("Jim Knopf rettet die Evolutionstheorie"), Voss presented evidence that Ende wanted to write a contrast to Nazi racial ideology and their misuse of Darwin's theory of evolution. Ende, who had grown up in Nazi Germany, used numerous Nazi symbols and references in his book, reversing their discriminatory aspect and turning them into anti-racist and multi-cultural images. Voss' article also identified Jemmy Button as the basis for Ende's lead character, Jim Knopf, translated in English as Jim Button.
