His experience in the war and at Nuremberg left Siegfried with an enduring commitment to global cooperation. He spent 40 years at Punahou School, where he taught languages and literature, served as the Director of Instructional Services, and founded the Wo International Center. After retiring he was an Adjunct Senior Fellow at the East-West Center.
