Jiri Langer was born in Prague in 1894, into an assimilated, 'westernized', Jewish family. During his lifetime he travelled a great deal but always returned to Prague until the onset of the Second World war in 1939 forced him to escape and eventually find refuge in Palestine. He died in 1943 in Tel Aviv.
