ABOUT FACE; The Story of the Jewish Refugee Soldiers of World War II 97 minutes Film Historical Documentary

Winner! 2007 GI Film Festival, Washington D.C.

Jury Recognition Award Winner! 2007 Stony Brook Film Festival

Here is the remarkable, untold story of thousands of young Jewish immigrants who fled Germany and Austria in the early days of Hitler's regime, only to perform an “about face," returning to confront their oppressors on the fields of battle as Allied soldiers in World War II. These are their stories of heartbreak, courage and the triumph of the human spirit as the veterans recount their journeys back to their homelands and the battlefronts, experiencing emotions more complex than revenge as they re-examine their identities as refugees, immigrants and soldiers.

 

Narrated by Peter Coyote

Original Music Score by John Cale
