Last wishes: The man who makes them happen

October 31, 2020

Over the years, Frank Wenzlow has discovered last wishes are as unique as the stars in the sky. Whether it's one more trip to the seashore or a rock concert, Wenzlow helps terminally ill people make their last wishes come true.

Frank Wenzlow calls his tours for the terminally ill Sternenfahrten, or "Make a Wish Trips." The journeys are to help the dying say their final farewells.

This time, Wenzlow and his team have a very special guest on board. Sylvia Neumann is the daughter of Wenzlow's very first passenger — she is in the final stages of cancer and the trip is emotional, even for Wenzlow himself. Accompanied by her son and his fiancee, Neumann revisits happy childhood memories in the town where her grandparents lived in Lower Saxony.

Gunnar Köhne reports on her journey.
