Miss Woolf
Ursula’s husband in Germany and Frieda’s father. Klara introduces Ursula and Jürgen to one another, and they quickly marry. Jürgen is a Leftist, but is forced to become a Nazi because it is the only political party allowed in Germany after Hitler takes power. As he rises through the ranks of the Party, he starts to become increasingly dominant over Ursula, preventing her from returning to England with their daughter in order to avoid whatever fate might befall them in Germany. He dies during a raid in World War II.
