Jews who served the Central Powers during World War I, and how their patriotism was rewarded

June 15, 2021 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT

Monthly zoom joint meeting North Shore Post 29 and Buffalo Grove Post 89, Highland Park, Illinois

Speaker: Peter Rosenbluth – Producer of documentaries about Jews in modern history

Peter K. Rosenbluth’s Hungarian family has a long military tradition. He produces documentaries about Jews in modern history,

such as “The Jewish 48’ers” connecting their battle for emancipation during the failed 1848 Revolutions to emigration to America

and their later role in our Civil War. His current project portrays the role of Jewish WWI veterans who fought for Germany and

Austria-Hungary, and their tragic fate in the Holocaust. Peter strongly believes these projects successfully challenge traditional

anti-semitic cliches against the patriotism and ability of European Jewish soldiers, and honors our forebearers by publicizing their stories
