What if your family legacy was built on survival, escape, and the relentless pursuit of freedom?

In Episode 49 of Hear Where You Belong, host Dea Irby sits down with Dr. Robert Wolf, recently retired radiologist and award-winning author of Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Hungarian Jewish Man’s Fight for Freedom. This gripping memoir honors his father—an extraordinary man who escaped Nazi and Communist Hungary not once, but four times, surviving two world-changing regimes.

Dr. Wolf shares the deep lessons he inherited: the fragility of freedom, the urgency of cherishing every moment, and the cost of hatred left unchecked. Through personal reflections and historical insight, he invites us into a story that is at once a biography, a history book, and a thrilling adventure.

You’ll also hear:

  • Why his father’s words—“enjoy every moment”—carry more weight today than ever

  • The emotional journey of turning real family trauma into a book with global impact

  • How Dr. Wolf channels his voice into fighting anti-Semitism, racism, and hate through podcasts, events, and advocacy

  • What it really takes to publish a book that matters, and why stories of resilience still resonate

If you’ve ever questioned how the past informs the present, or how ordinary people rise in extraordinary times, this episode will stay with you.
