Life
Bollyn is a Germanophile and an outspoken opponent of Zionism and critic of Israel. In a 2016 talk at Portland Community College, Bollyn stated when he was a child in Sweden he would spend his summers at a kibbutz in Israel, apparently part of a cultural exchange program.[1] He lived at least two years with his family in Germany.
- Christopher Bollyn was born in Chicago and grew up during the 1960's in suburban Schaumburg, Illinois. He was raised in an educated middle class family. He delivered newspapers before school and became an Eagle Scout at age 15. He served as an altar boy in the Episcopalian Church and earned the God and Country award. His father, Albert, grew up in Chicago's Austin neighborhood and graduated with a degree in journalism from University of Illinois after serving the Army Corps of Engineers in Germany. Christopher's father was his first proofreader and editor. Albert Bollyn owned an interior decoration business and enjoyed acting in the theatre guild. The Bollyn family is related to Sir Thomas Boleyn, the father of Queen Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII and mother of Queen Elizabeth I. His mother, Charlotte, grew up in southwestern North Dakota, the daughter of Scandinavian and Swiss homesteaders. Charlotte was an educator and interior designer who held advanced degrees from Columbia University. When she studied in New York, Charlotte worked as governess for the Farish family and took care of the young William S. Farish III, the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom and friend of the Bush family. Christopher's parents both served in World War II. After graduating from high school, Christopher traveled extensively in Europe and the Middle East. For several winters he lived and studied in Oslo, Norway. In spring he would cycle across Europe and the Near East. In Norway, he lived with an erudite Swedish countess and studied Middle Eastern history and Semitic languages at the University of Oslo. Christopher returned to the United States in the late 1970s and began studies at the University of California at Davis. He has a degree in history from U.C. Santa Cruz. His emphasis was on Palestine/Israel. His last year of university was spent in Norway, Greece, and the newly liberated Baltic States where he researched the psychological effects of the Soviet occupation on the native population. Christopher met his wife, Helje, in Oslo. Helje is a Swedish citizen who was born and educated in Estonia. She has a degree in English Language and Literature from Tallinn University. They were married in the Chapel of Kalmar Castle, Sweden. After the birth of their second child, Christopher and Helje wrote a book ABC Zoo and dedicated it to the children who love to read.[2]
Assault by US Police
In August 2006, Bollyn was attacked at his home in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, by a heavily-armed three-man team of undercover police that had been prowling around his house for several days in a row. The result of the police assault on Bollyn was that he was falsely with assault and resisting arrest; both misdemeanor charges.
- A Hoffman Estates writer who claims Israeli agents were involved in the World Trade Center attack said police arrested him and shot him with a stun gun because of his views. But police say Christopher Bollyn was arrested during an altercation with officers last month because police feared he was going to get a weapon, […][3]
- A former mayoral candidate in Hoffman Estates says he was brutally harassed and unjustly arrested by police last week.Christopher L. Bollyn, 49, of Hoffman Estates filed a written complaint against the chief of police and village manager complaining of a false arrest. But Village Attorney Dick Williams said the papers are merely a summary of his account of the arrest, and have no legal effect.[4]
He pled innocent and went through a four-day trial in which the police openly lied and presented false evidence. Bollyn was prohibited from presenting evidence and his expert witness was not allowed to testify. Bollyn was found guilty of both charges and faced sentencing from the same judge who had overseen the trial. The Bollyn family left their home near Chicago and moved once again to Europe in June 2007.
