“The Ritchie Boys” with Al Treidel
In late 1942, the U.S. Army decided to create a special program to make use
of recently arrived Jewish immigrants’ familiarity with Germany and its
language. Approximately 2,000 young Jewish men were recruited to train
at Fort Ritchie, Maryland, in counter-intelligence techniques. Taking their
lives into their own hands, “The Ritchie Boys” provided roughly 2/3 of the
human intelligence used in the fight against the Nazis. Their work saved
hundreds of thousands of lives and may have shortened the war. The event
begins at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom. Fill out the form on templebethsholomfl.org
