In their own words, veterans both famous and unknown, including director Mel Brooks and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, bring their war experiences to life: how they fought for their nation and their people, struggled with anti-Semitism within their ranks, and emerged transformed, more powerfully American and more deeply Jewish.
