In EPISODE 204 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Robert Wolf, a distinguished neuro-radiologist, and author of the compelling book, Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Hungarian Jewish Man’s Fight for Freedom. In this work, Dr. Wolf chronicles the harrowing and inspiring journey of his father, Ervin Wolf, who survived the brutalities of both Nazi and communist regimes in Hungary. The narrative sheds light on the often overlooked history of the nearly half a million Hungarian Jews who were deported and killed during the Holocaust. Through an epic tale of daring escapes, oppressive regimes, personal loss, and ultimate triumph, Dr. Wolf not only preserves his family’s Legacy but also contributes a vital perspective to Holocaust literature. In our conversation today, we’ll delve into the experiences that shaped Ervin Wolf’s indomitable spirit, the process of documenting such a personal and historical account, and the lessons we can draw about resilience, freedom, and the enduring human spirit.
