Dr. Bernd Wollschlaeger, author of the book "A German Life: Against All Odds speaks to 

Change is Possible" describes his struggle growing up in Germany in the shadow of his Father, a highly-decorated WWII tank commander and Nazi officer. He eventually converted to Judaism, emigrated to Israel and served in the Israel Defense Forces as a Medical Officer. Dr. Wollschlarger was the Guest Speaker at our 21st Annual Tribute Dinner, held on November 19, 2013 at the Old Westbury Hebrew Congregation.

Comment:  I would just like to say firstly to Dr Wollsclaeger, how proud i am of him, not only as a fellow Jew; but as a fellow traveler.  He is a very unique man.  imagine what it took for him to do the impossible:  He asked questions!!!  Plus, he had the intelligence and courage, to know he was getting only a part of the truth, and to keep questioning until he got it all.  G-d bless him, and his family.  The work he does now, to me, is invaluable.  Thank you Dr.
