Hilmar von Campe, author of "Defeating the Totalitarian Lie," lectured
on the Colorado Christian University campus today as a guest of
Centennial Institute director John Andrews. Forced into the Hitler Youth
as a boy in Germany, von Campe was later an infantryman in World War
II, ending as a prisoner of the Yugoslavian communists.
Escaping to the West, he underwent a crisis of faith and concluded his
Lutheran upbringing had produced only a "fake Christian." He vowed to
make restitution by warning the free world against the fallacy of
seeking political salvation in defiance of biblical truth. This he has
done with six books in English, German, and Spanish -- the latter
reflecting his long business career in Latin America before becoming a
US citizen in 2005.
In three speeches to CCU students and faculty, von Campe explained his
concern that we are in the late stages of a "global insurrection against
God," including an abortion holocaust in the United States that now
exceeds the death toll of World War II. For more information about Von
Campe and his writings, please visit the
