Not A Real Enemy – Robert Wolf, MD

 

Throughout history, there are stories that shake us to our core—stories of unimaginable loss, but also of resilience, courage, and the indomitable will to survive. Today, we’re bringing you one such story—one that remains largely untold but is as poignant and relevant as ever. 

 It’s a journey through the horrors of the Holocaust, the iron grip of communism, and the enduring spirit of one man and his family. This is a story of survival against all odds, a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and a tribute to those who never had the chance to share their voices. 

 It’s an honor to welcome Dr. Robert Wolf, the author of “Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Jewish Man’s Fight for Freedom,”, a deeply personal and compelling narrative that takes us from the streets of Hungary to the death camps of Auschwitz and beyond.

 Dr. Robert Wolf is a man with a profound personal connection to one of the darkest chapters in human history. His book, “Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Jewish Man’s Fight for Freedom,” tells the harrowing yet inspiring story of his father, Ervin Wolf, who survived the Holocaust not once - but twice, only to face the oppressive grip of communism in post-war Hungary. 

 Through meticulous research and heartfelt storytelling, Robert brings to life the struggles, victories, and heartbreaks of his family's journey from persecution to freedom. His book not only honors the memory of his grandparents, Joseph and Kamilla Wolf, who perished at Auschwitz, but also serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and hope that carried survivors forward. Today, we’ll dive into this incredible story and uncover the lessons it holds for us all.

Your book, “Not a Real Enemy,” is both a tribute and a deeply personal journey. What was the emotional process like for you as you uncovered and told your family’s story?

 Your father, Ervin, displayed remarkable resilience, escaping the Nazis twice and later the communists. What do you believe was the driving force behind his will to survive and fight for freedom?

The Holocaust has been widely documented, yet the story of the Jewish community in Győr, Hungary, remains relatively unknown. Why do you think this chapter of history has received so little attention?

Survival stories often come with moments of impossible choices. Can you share some of the key decisions your father had to make, and how they shaped the course of his life?

 You weave together historical context and personal narrative almost seamlessly in the book. What were some of the challenges you faced in balancing historical accuracy with storytelling?

 How has your family’s history influenced your own perspective on life and identity?

 Dr. Wolf, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of your book? I take it is on Amazon?

 If someone has a question or would like more information or would like to invite you onto an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?

 I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below!

Folks, Dr. Robert Wolf’s “Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Jewish Man’s Fight for Freedom,” is more than just a personal story—it’s a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable darkness. As we reflect on his family's journey, may we be reminded of the importance of remembering history, standing against oppression, and cherishing the freedoms we so often take for granted. 

Drop down into the show notes below and reach out to Dr. Robert Wolf… and be sure to click the link to order his book, “Not a Real Enemy!”  This is one book you definitely need to put on your reading list… amen!  And be sure to pass it along to someone of, let’s just say, a “younger generation.” Because, as Ronald Reagan once said, “If we don’t learn from history, we are destined to repeat it…” and we definitely don’t want to do that again. Amen!

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
