Rabbi
Akiva Males will discuss the history and mission of Operation
Benjamin, the organization devoted to preserving the memories
of American-Jewish soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice while
defending the cause of freedom. Operation Benjamin aims to locate
Jewish personnel at American millitary cemeteries all over the
world who, for various reasons, were buried under markers
incorrectly representing their religion and heritage. Memphians
Jeanne and Dr. Bruce Alpert will share their personal experience and
the role of Operation Benjamin as they discovered the fate of Jeanne's
family member, Lt. Joseph M. Sugarmam, Jr.
* In honor of Veteran's Day, American veterans in attendence will be recognized at this program. |

Nazi reign of terror, to individual and community reconciliation.
This film is in partnership with the Memphis Jewish Community Center and Facing History and Ourselves.
