Next Event in 2024 – 2025 Season:
Monday, January 20 @ 7:30 pm – The Ritchie Boys
Sponsored by Sharon & Bruce Mineroff
This documentary, named for a military boot camp in Maryland (Camp Ritchie), tells of a group of 2000 to 3000 European Jews, mostly from Germany, who were given intensive training by the US military during World War II on the art and science of interrogations to extract vital information from captured German and Italian prisoners and to examine and interpret enemy documents drafted in codes and ciphers. The film centers on former Ritchie Boys members remem-bering their important contributions and adventures – both harrowing and humorous – and their unorthodox but effective forms of inter-rogation and subterfuge that helped defeat the Nazis. As one member said: “We were fighting an American war and we were also fighting an intensely personal war. We were in that war with every inch of our being.” These men produced “at least 60 percent of the actionable intelligence in the European theater.” Their vital work continued throughout the war and afterwards, in, among other things, identifying former Nazis hiding in the aftermath of World War II.
All movies are open to the public at no charge. Seating will be limited. Doors open at 7:00 pm, movie begins at 7:30 pm. Dessert will be served in the social hall after the viewing.
