Friends: Last week we showed the movie "About Face", produced, directed and co-written by Steve Karras, to our congregation. We had a phenomenal turnout, and the film is just excellent. It is a documentary, narrated by Peter Coyote and featuring Michael Berenbaum and Henry Kissinger, among others, about those German refugees who got out of Germany just in time, only to turn around, join the American Armed Forces, and return to fight the Nazis. The film is very professionally done (it is, in my opinion PBS quality), and the web site accompanying it is a fantastic source of information. I highly recommend this film to any of you across the country. In order to get it, you will have to contact Steve directly, and if any of you "know anyone" so that he can get it broadcast nationally, I welcome your assistance.
I have no personal interest in this, by the way -- Steve's name and the movie were brought to my attention by Lisa Silverman in Los Angeles, and I contacted him for a program. I just highly, highly recommend this very interesting documentary. The website is <http://www.aboutfacefilm.com>www.aboutfacefilm.com.
