Synopsis

A few months after the end of World War I, Wolfgang Mueller was born in Germany to two Jewish, college-educated parents. As he grew up in a happy, erudite environment, Mueller could never have known that the celebration of his Bar-Mizwa in 1932, coinciding with the rise the Nazis, would mark a very important turning point in his life. As Adolf Hitler assumed the role of chancellor, Mueller was filled with fear and foreboding, as were his parents-feelings that instigated a subsequent decision to send Mueller to boarding school in England. After being recruited to work at an American company while still in school, Mueller details how he embarked on a journey in 1936 that carried him through life-changing experiences as an American soldier during World War II to a return to civilian life, during which he eventually married, started a family, and realized professional success. Wolf shares the inspirational story of one man's remarkable lifelong experiences as he escaped from Nazi terror to build a life in America and learned to appreciate his good fortune.
