  • Summary

  • “In battle, you kept your wits about you. Don’t relax that caution now,” warned the ominous voice-over in the 1945 training film, Your Job in Germany. “The German lust for conquest is not dead. It’s merely undercover.” As the Allied powers worked to govern Europe, Jewish American GI’s were stationed around the continent. As demobilization - the process of bringing American military personnel home after the war’s end - escalated, the United States found itself understaffed, and many Jewish American GI’s remained in Europe to support efforts to maintain order and rebuild. For those at home, programs like the GI Bill paved the way for a postwar life. Narrated by Rebecca Naomi Jones and featuring Deborah Dash Moore, author of GI Jews: How World War II Changed a Generation.
