In this episode of 'The Patient Physician,' meet Dr. Rob Wolf, a distinguished neuroradiologist, author, and Jewish historian. As a third-generation Hungarian doctor, Rob reflects on the challenges and rewards of a medical career while underscoring themes of resilience, redemption, and fighting antisemitism. In Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Hungarian Jewish Man’s Fight for Freedom, Dr. Wolf tells the story of his grandparents and his father, Ervin Wolf. This discussion explores his parents' escape from Nazi persecution and life in communist Hungary, Dr. Wolf's extensive medical career, and his motivations for writing the book. If you're feeling burnout get inspired to share your story, pursue creative outlets, and value your time and community.

MEET OUR GUEST: DR. ROBERT J. WOLF

ROBERT WOLF, M.D. is a neuroradiologist who attended the University of Michigan Medical School and completed his training at Brown and Yale Universities. He grew up in a suburb of Detroit as the only child of Ervin and Judit Wolf. Their stories of escape from communist Hungary, and his father’s tragic history of escaping the Nazis twice but losing his own parents, inspired Robert to document his parents’ tales and share those stories with Jewish groups, history aficionados, and biography lovers throughout the United States, Europe, and elsewhere. In Not a Real Enemy Robert shares his family saga—and the forgotten history of the nearly half million Hungarian Jews who were deported and killed during the Holocaust—through an epic and inspiring tale of daring escapes, terrifying oppression, tragedy, and triumph.
