Henry Winkler recalls how his parents hid their family heirlooms inside melted chocolate just to escape Nazi Germany with enough resources to survive. It’s a striking reminder of the lengths our ancestors went to preserve their families and legacy. His father, Harry Irving Winkler, later started a lumber business and was able to purchase back the jewelry. Winkler later gave his son a pocket watch that was part of the original collection smuggled out of Germany disguised as chocolate as a beautiful tribute to the family history.  The interview, held earlier this month, kicked off Season 17 of In Depth with Graham Bensinger. 🎥 Graham Bensinger via FB via @rebootjewish #jewishstories #jewishlife #jewishpeople
