Higher Ground Event: Holocaust survivor speaks on Hitler, Hamas and hope
Jochen Wurfl was a child when Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany. With a Catholic father and Jewish mother, his family did everything possible to protect him and his brother, Peter, from the horrors of the unfolding Holocaust. But while his entire family died in concentration camps, Jochen and Peter survived by hiding in plain sight and joining the Nazi Youth. He wrote a book, “My Two Lives,” as a family record but now hopes that it will change hearts and minds as anti-Semitism rises across the globe.
