Tracy: I was honored to have been able to have met your father, Karl-Heinz Schnibbe and spend a brief evening with him. It is an experience that I will never forget. He was a great person whom I will always respect.

Dear Steve, Thank you so much for the kind words you have written about my Father. As I read through your article I could still hear his voice. This has not been easy on any of us, but it is people like yourself that will help keep the memory and story of my Father alive. Thank you again,
Respectfully Tracy

Nice tribute, Steve.

I picked up a copy of The Price a few years ago when I found it in a pile of discarded books from the meetinghouse library.

I appreciate this post. This story has always interested me, but I’m soaking more in as I recently found out that my mom’s cousin is Karl-Heinz Schnibbe’s wife. It’s interesting how a personal connection like that immediately increases my desire to learn more. Personal experiences people have had with him are a blessing to read.

I’m going to pass this along to my mom. Thanks, Steve.

Thank all of you for allowing me to say a few words about Karl-Heinz Schnibbe. What impressed me most about him from the few hours I spent with him (which went by too fast) was that he was as friendly, kind and humble as he was courageous and brave.

I hope all of you can read one of the books about the Helmuth Hübener group and get to know the three a little better.

In many ways, Brother Schnibbe’s story is more remarkable than Hubener’s in that he survived the war years, the years in a Soviet prison camp, and emerged with the ability to forgive those who had wronged him. To then go on and live out the rest of his life in a rather normal manner amazes me. Truly a wonderful man. His example, along with Helmut Hubener and Rudi Wobbe, should be celebrated.
