Beyond the Page 17: Not a Real Enemy: Survival, Freedom & Family History with Robert J. Wolf

In this episode of Beyond the Page, I’m joined by Dr. Robert J. Wolf, author of Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Hungarian Jewish Man’s Fight for Freedom.Robert shares the extraordinary story of his father, Ervin Wolf, a Hungarian Jewish man who survived forced labor during World War II, escaped multiple times, endured Nazi and Communist rule, and eventually fled Hungary following the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.We discuss Robert’s decision to transform his father’s autobiography into a biography, the emotional weight of researching his family’s history, and how learning the full extent of what his parents endured changed his own perspective on freedom and everyday life.Robert also talks about the continuing importance of Holocaust education, combating antisemitism, and preserving these stories for future generations. And, as always on Beyond the Page, we eventually lighten things up with conversations about music, favorite albums, food, and Robert’s first job.It’s a conversation about survival, resilience, family, history, and why stories like this cannot be allowed to disappear.Find Rob: https://mybook.to/I3hEA5Page Chewing BlogPage Chewing ForumAffiliate Links that support the show:Audible Standard Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4z1iKnsAudible Standard Monthly Membership: https://amzn.to/3S6vaddKindle Unlimited Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4wqkYdDAmazon Prime Free Trial: https://amzn.to/3UptxI9Join Captivate.fmSend a message via SpeakPipe
