“There’s hardly a better way to commemorate Yom Ha’Shoah than to contemplate the sacrifice of more than half a million American Jewish men and women who enlisted to fight Hitler, often facing significant prejudice from their brothers and sisters in arms.” – Liel Leibovitz, Tablet

“We knew how important it was for us to be there,” – Carl Reiner

“This is a film that should be seen by the entire family. It is an important lesson for every generation. It is not only a lesson of war, but also a lesson of hate and prejudice.” – Francine Brokaw, The Daily Herald

“BOTTOM LINE: Moving, vivid, important.” – Verne Gay, Newsday

“‘GI Jews’ is an eye-opening and uplifting documentary about the Jewish members of the Greatest Generation and how they came home ready to take a new, bolder place in American life.” – Cate Marquis, St. Louis Jewish Light
