Immigrant Soldier, The Story of a Ritchie Boy

Based on the true experiences of a refugee from Nazi Germany, IMMIGRANT SOLDIER combines a coming of age story with an immigrant tale and a World War Two adventure. On a cold November morning in 1938, Herman watches in horror as his cousin is arrested. As a Jew, he realizes it is past time to flee Germany, a decision that catapults him from one adventure to another. His life is changed forever by the gathering storm of world events. Gradually, Herman evolves from a frustrated teenager looking for a place to belong, into a confident US Army intelligence officer who struggles with hate and forgiveness.  Presented by Kathryn Lang-Slattery
