Biography

Hugo Wolfram was born in Germany, emigrating to England in 1933.[8] When World War II broke out, young Hugo left school at 15 and subsequently found it hard to get a job since he was an enemy alien. As an adult, he took correspondence courses in philosophy and psychology.[4]

He was the father of computer scientist Stephen Wolfram and British technologist and businessman Conrad Wolfram.
