Moritz, Alfred
As a village child in the German Palatinate, Alfred Moritz (1930–2011), a.k.a. "Mauricet" could never have imagined the odyssey that was about to overtake him in the European turmoil of the mid-20th century. Living through Kristallnacht, the mass exodus into France, and the German occupation, he escaped the fate of one-and-a-half million Jewish children who did not survive the Holocaust.
Years later, as a graduate architect, Alfred pursued an international career, overseeing a wide range of building and infrastructure projects worldwide for the leading American construction engineering firm.
In his memoir, he sought to understand and document the persecution of those whose only crime was to be "different."
