Heroes in Uniform: Jewish American Soldiers of WWII

Join us on Proclaiming Justice as we explore the incredible stories of over half a million Jewish Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II. These brave men and women, coming from diverse backgrounds—rich and poor, urban and rural, religious and secular—answered the call of duty. Many were the children of immigrants who had fled persecution in Europe, only to face anti-Semitic slurs from their fellow servicemen. Through their resilience and courage, they proved their patriotism and fought against the very hatred their parents had escaped. Tune in to hear their inspiring journeys and the lasting impact of their service.
