The roughly 700-page volume, titled “Freiheit” ("Freedom"), will be published on Nov. 26, publisher Kiepenheuer & Witsch announced Monday. Merkel, a former scientist who grew up in communist East Germany, became Germany’s first female chancellor on Nov. 22, 2005. Merkel has generally kept a low profile since handing over to current Chancellor Olaf Scholz in December 2021. But her record has faced criticism as well since she stepped down, notably her approach to Ukraine and Russia.
