I was born in Breslau, Germany in 1936, sent away on a Kindertransport as conditions for Jewish families worsened under Nazi rule. I was the youngest of approximately 200 children slated to go at barely three years old. After being cared for by the Ness family in Scotland, I reunited with my parents in Bolivia in 1940, where my father had fled after his arrest on Kristallnacht and my mother had secured a rare visa. My family eventually rebuilt our lives, moving to Memphis in 1952 and later to Santa Barbara where I worked as an engineer, married my wife Lani, and raised our children and grandchildren.
