O knihe

My life has been a journey from

victimhood to life affirmation. A

child survivor of the Holocaust, I

lived for six years under the Nazi

regime, and, as the only Jew in my

school, was harassed by my Hitler

Youth classmates on a daily basis.

In November 1938, my father

was shipped off to concentration

camp, and I witnessed the destruction of my home by Nazi

thugs. A few months before the outbreak of World War II,

I escaped to England with the famous Kindertransport and,

when the bombs began falling on London, I was evacuated

with my school and lived for a year with an English foster

family. In 1940, at the height of the Atlantic U-boat

campaign, I sailed for New York with my parents. After

service in the U.S. Army, I worked my way around the west

at hard labor jobs, then studied at Columbia and Princeton,

and ultimately became an international patent lawyer. My

original ambition, to become a novelist, was not fulfilled.

I live in Rockville, Maryland, am divorced, and have two

children and two grandchildren. I have traveled widely and

consider myself a citizen of the world. In my 80s now, I

am active in The ManKind Project, a mens organization

conducting transformational trainings on four continents, as

a community leader, group facilitator and mentor. Having

been honored by my German home town, and having

experienced reconciliation with my former Hitler classmates,

I now speak widely on that subject, and conduct a workshop

called The Power of Forgiveness. While I have never

experienced "survivor guilt," I do attempt to conduct my life

so as to be worthy of my survival.
