Hilmar von Campe
Author, Lecturer, International Businessman

Born in Germany in 1925, von Campe offers a seldom heard Christian perspective on the rise and fall of Nazi Germany. His testimony and the wealth of his inside stories are fascinating, including his escape from a POW  prison camp in Yugoslavia, crossing 7 borders back to his family. He witnessed first hand the terrible consequences of self deception  and lack of character in the leadership. He saw the world plunged into war and his nation and family destroyed.

After the war he faced the hard facts of the Holocaust, experienced profound moral change and set out on the road of restitution for the crimes of a German government, in which he did not take part, and reconciliation. He was received twice by the then executive director of the Holocaust Memorial Center in Washington, Dr. David Weinstein, and apologized to him for the suffering Germany had inflicted on the Jewish people. He told him, "that the crimes of the Nazis were only possible because of the moral cowardice of so many of us non-Nazis."

"If the suffering of millions of people is to have a meaning, it can only be the lesson that out of guilt and suffering, a spirit of forgiveness, reconciliation, and common destiny can arise, leading in turn to the birth of a new human society where humanity obeys the laws of its creator."

Mr.von Campe reminds us that the ongoing battle in the world is between truth and lie. Every person is either on the side of one or the other. He sends a warning to every American not to follow the road of appeasement to evil as millions of Germans did but stand up for truth. One cannot be a bystander and a Christian at the same time, he says. The future will belong to an America rooted in truth, and the world will follow her when "one nation under God" is a reality and not just a phrase.

Hilmar von Campe emigrated out of Germany in the 1950s and spent most of his life since then in the various Latin America countries including Mexico. His experiences have been far outside normal routine: whether it was his kidnapping in Bolivia by mine workers, his living in an Argentine factory in Avellaneda dominated by Peronist workers, his efforts to change the leaders of the Communist Dockworkers Union in Rio de Janeiro or his chairmanship of the Mexican-American Chamber of Commerce Subcommittee on Foreign Investments. He owned a factory in Mexico and is now president of an Ex-Import business in the United States. He is married to Dina Gamio from Lima, Peru. They have two children, Stefan, born in Jamaica  and Sabrina, born in Ohio.

Hilmar von Campe is a noted author and lecturer who was listed in the 1992 edition of the "International Who's Who of Intellectuals" in Cambridge. An author of four books he is committed to strengthen the moral fabric of society and make truth the basis of all human relationships.
