Dr. Samson Stern is the author of My Father’s Secret and a unique personality in the Bohemian scene of Tel Aviv, a colorful man that is full of life. A dentist by trade, Dr. Stern’s sprawling patient list includes artists and businessmen, politicians, and individuals whose identities should not be compromised. At his leisure, Samson enjoys a wide variety of activities: from the spotlight of the theater to getting tangled with arms dealers, spending time at opera houses and heroic prison rescues around the globe, and above all – singing and songwriting.

His debut book, co-written and illustrated by his close friend Doron Rosenblatt, contains songs written and performed by Samson together with some of Israel’s top artists, including composer Nurit Hirsh and singer-songwriter David Broza, who also performs the titular song “Giants Die Standing Tall.”
