== Early life ==
Gabriel ("Gabi") Epstein was born on 25 October 1918 in Duisburg (Germany), an industrial city in the lower Rhine, a region where his ancestors lived for centuries.〔British Library. ''Professor Gabriel Epstein interviewed by Niamh Dillon''. NLSC: Architects Lives. BLref: C467/89 http://sounds.bl.uk/Oral-history/Architects-Lives/021M-C0467X0089XX-0001V0〕 Epstein's father Harry was an influential attorney, and was strongly committed to Zionism.〔Wertheimer, Jack. ''Unwelcome Strangers: East European Jews in Imperial Germany.'' Oxford University Press, 1991, p.136 ASIN: B001RBLLRW〕 In the mid-1930s the family fled Nazi Germany. After a brief stay in Brussels (Belgium), Gabriel Epstein left for British Mandatory Palestine. Beginning in 1937 Epstein became an apprentice to Erich Mendelsohn in Jerusalem. As a child, in 1925–1927, he had seen Mendelsohn sketch the extension of the family department store in Duisburg, Cohen & Epstein.〔''Foreign Impulses – Architectural Heritage of the Ruhr Area,'' project of the State Services for Historical Monuments and the industry museums of LVR and LWL as part of the European Capital of Culture RUHR.2010 initiative (in German). https://www.lwl.org/LWL/Kultur/fremde-impulse/die_impulse/Impuls-Juedisches-Leben/Juedisches-Arbeitsamt-Duisburg〕 Later, Epstein came to admire Mendelsohn's creativeness and energy even though he never considered himself a true disciple.
In 1938 Epstein left for London to study at the Architectural Association School of Architecture. When World War II broke out, Epstein happened to be in Jerusalem, and for several months he worked for (Heinz Heinrich Rau ), whom he still thinks of as his master. In 1942, he joined the Palestine Regiment and was later commissioned in the Royal Engineers and stationed in North Africa. Epstein was demobilised in 1946, and returned to the United Kingdom where he graduated with honours at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in 1949.
Initially German, Epstein then held a Mandatory Palestine passport, and was stateless in 1948 until he became a British citizen in the early 1950s.
