With sensitivity and passion, Edith Sheffer’s scrupulous research reveals the heartbreaking voices and experiences of many of these children, while also illuminating a Nazi regime obsessed with sorting the population into categories, cataloging people by race, heredity, politics, religion, sexuality, criminality, and biological defects—labels that became the basis of either rehabilitation or persecution and extermination.

See this war comedy directed by David Butler and starring Bob Hope as Don, Dorothy Lamour as Tony, Clarence Kolb as Tony’s father, Colonel Peter Fairbanks, and Eddie Bracken and Lynne Overman as Don’s cronies.
