“GI Jews: Jewish Americans in World War II” narrates the experiences of the 550,000 Jewish American men and women who served during World War II. Through personal accounts from both well-known and lesser-known veterans, including figures like Hollywood director Mel Brooks and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the film vividly depicts their wartime experiences. It explores their battles for their country and community, their encounters with anti-Semitism within the military, and how these experiences reshaped their identities, making them both more profoundly American and more deeply connected to their Jewish heritage.
