Jochen “Jack” Wurfl lived two lives. Jack was born in 1932 in Germany to his Jewish mother and Catholic father, and lived in Austria until 1936. Anticipating Hitler’s invasion of Austria, his parents sent Jack and his brother, Peter, back to Germany to live with their Jewish grandparents in Berlin. At age seventeen, Jack began his second life when the U.S. Committee for the Care of European Children relocated him and Peter to the United States.
