New York Times bestselling author, BRUCE HENDERSON, will be discussing his latest book, Sons and Soldiers: The Untold Story of the Jews Who Escaped the Nazis and Returned with the U.S. Army to Fight Hitler. The book is about the little-known saga of the young German Jews dubbed “The Ritchie Boys,” whose families sent them out of Nazi Germany to safety in America, and who returned as soldiers to Europe at enormous personal risk as members of an elite U.S. Army unit to play a key role in the Allied victory. Utilizing their unique mastery of the enemy’s language, culture and psychology, they served with combat units and were trained to interrogate German prisoners.

Bruce will be joined that evening by one of Cincinnati's own Ritchie Boys, DR. AL MILLER.
