Singer Jean-Jacques Goldman is the patriarch of a true dynasty. He is the father of six children and grandfather eleven times.

His parents, Alter Moshe Goldman and Ruth Ambrunn, one Polish Jew and the other German Jew, both emigrated to France, to Montrouge. The family rarely talks about politics, although the father joined the Resistance at the start of the Second World War. In the family, we don't brag about our feats of arms. Question of principles. He has always been embarrassed by the star costume.
