RITCHIE BOYS ARTICLE
As the United States battled the Nazis across Europe during World War II, it was bolstered by thousands of young men who had recently fled Nazi persecution in Germany for the U.S., only to return as American soldiers fighting the Nazis. In 2021, the US Senate Resolution 349 officially recognized the bravery of these troops, known as the "Ritchie Boys." I wrote this article for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to share their story.
