Meet Al Miller
Albert Miller was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1922 to parents Alfred and Charlotte. In 1937, Al’s grandfather arranged for him to attend a boarding school in Switzerland so he could escape the repercussions of the Nuremberg Laws. At the same time, Al’s brother, Bruno, was sent to work in England. After Kristallnacht in 1938, Alfred and Charlotte escaped. They reunited with Al in Belgium before joining Bruno in England. While in England, Al’s father secured American visas for the family. They arrived in the United States in 1940.
Al enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1943 and trained in military intelligence at Camp Ritchie. He returned to Germany where he interrogated suspected war criminals. After he was honorably discharged from the Army in 1946, Al met his wife, Jane, on a blind date. They had three sons and settled in Hamilton, Ohio, where Al practiced optometry until he retired. Al was a strong advocate of Holocaust education and shared his story until his death in 2023, just shy of 101 years of age.
