Happy Veterans Day!

Ameer Benno

On this Veterans Day, the Merrick-Bellmore Jewish Community Council thanks and honors all who have served.   We are forever grateful for the sacrifices our veterans have made to protect our freedoms, and we salute them!

Since colonial days, American Jews have served in our country’s military. The following video tells their stories.

IN HONOR OF HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY

GI Jew

GI JEWS: JEWISH AMERICAN S IN WORLD WAR II tells the extraordinary story of the 550,000 Jewish American men and women who fought in World War II, and features original interviews with Mel Brooks, Max Fuchs, Si Lewen, Henry Kissinger, Deborah Dash Moore, Robert Morgenthau, Carl Reiner, Jonathan Sarna and others.

In their own words, WWII veterans bring their war experiences to life: how they fought for their nation and their people, struggled with anti-Semitism within their ranks, and emerged transformed.
