Synopsis

On a cold November morning in 1938, Herman watches in horror as his cousin is arrested. As a Jew, he realizes it is past time to flee Germany, a decision that catapults him from one adventure to another, his life changed forever by the gathering storm of world events. Part coming-of-age historical fiction, part immigrant tale, part historical Jewish fiction, this Ritchie Boys book succeeds among WW2 historical fiction books because it reveals the contribution of Jewish soldiers to the Allied cause. Immigrant Soldier follows the true story of a German Jew drafted into the US Army and sent to Europe to serve at the headquarters of the legendary General George S. Patton. Of the many fiction Holocaust books, this one tells a little-known story, packed with true-to-life historical details that entertain and educate.
