A Lesson in Miracles

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Fifty-two years ago, 18-year-old Henri Landwirth was the walking dead on the way to his execution. Today, “I’m walking history, ” says the 80-year-old Holocaust survivor. Landwirth was given a miraculous reprieve when the Nazi soldiers who were about to shoot him had a change of heart and told him to run for his life instead.

Landwirth’s remarkable life journey ultimately led him from heart-wrenching deprivation in Germany’s death camps to undreamed-of success as a hotelier in America. Convinced he was Jiving on borrowed time, he walked out of his multimillion-dollar business one day and never came back-dedicating the rest of his life to creating and funding charitable foundations for those in need, particularly children.
