January 25, 2018Join us to hear Bruce Henderson speak about his fascinating new book, Sons and Soldiers. This gripping account tells the story of the German Jewish refugees who escaped the Nazis and were subsequently trained at Camp Ritchie, Maryland to be frontline interrogators of German POWs during WWII. Prior to the author presentation the JCC will show a free documentary of this incredible story. Come for an evening of film and storytelling.
