Judith Fanto grows up in an idealistic, academic environment. She doesn\u2019t really excel in anything but language, and studying Journalism interests her, but her parents believe that she should use her talent for writing to study a subject \u2018that will help her properly understand what she writes about as a journalist.\u2019 So she ends up studying Law, a degree in which her strong expression skills are definitely an advantage.<\/p>\n
Fanto studies in Nijmegen, London and Amsterdam and marries Thomas Wermenbol, whose name she adopts because she believes it\u2019s a better fit to her temperament. As a postgraduate, Fanto specializes in Medical Law, after which she compensates her average legal qualities with her great talent for speaking and writing for twenty-five years. Fanto publishes in Medical-Legal magazines, is the editor-in-chief for the paper Eigen!, organizes several Jewish cultural activities and sets up \u2018Stichting OPA,\u2019 a foundation that gives children with psychiatric problems the chance to play outside during school holidays. <\/p>\n

In 2016, Fanto decides to slow down to dedicate time outside of work to a long cherished dream: writing a novel, loosely based on the history of her colourful Viennese-Jewish family. She names the book Viktor<\/em>, referring to one of the main characters: her grandfather\u2019s mysterious brother, who actually existed in real life.<\/p>\n When Viktor<\/em> is published by Ambo|Anthos in March 2020, the novel is an immediate success. Viktor<\/em> is awarded the Hebban Literature Prize for the best debut of 2020 and nominated for the Book Trade Prize 2021. Viktor<\/em> reaches second place on the German shortlist of the best ten books of 2021.
