Transforming Darkness

Join us for an extraordinary evening with Dr. Bernd Wollschlaeger, whose remarkable life story is one of courage, identity, and transforming darkness to light.

Bernd was born in Germany, the son of a high ranking Nazi officer. As a young man, he began asking difficult questions about his father’s past, the Holocaust, and the history he had inherited. His search for truth ultimately led him on an astonishing journey, one that took him to Israel and, eventually, to embracing Judaism and building a Jewish life and family of his own.

Hear firsthand how a man raised in the shadow of Nazi Germany chose an entirely different path, transforming a legacy of darkness into a life of Jewish faith, meaning, and purpose.

This is more than a story about the past. It is a powerful conversation about identity, moral courage, confronting history, and our ability to choose who we become.
