Classic Jewish Non-Fiction:
The Brigade by Howard Blum

The Jewish Brigade was formed in late 1944 as a unit of the British Army
made up of Jews from Mandatory Palestine, wearing a blue and white
shoulder patch featuring the Star of David. It was stationed in Italy and
fought during the last months of WWII. Afterwards, some Brigade mem-
bers hunted down Nazi war criminals still in Germany, but soon changed
their focus to help smuggle Holocaust survivors into Palestine in defiance
of the British restrictions. This class, presented by the Al Katz Center, be-
gins at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom. Cost: $10 per day or $50 for all classes this
month. To RSVP and receive the Zoom link, please call Beverly Newman
