About Face tells the remarkable, untold story of thousands of young Jewish immigrants who fled Germany and Austria in the early days of Hitler's regime, only to perform an "about face," returning to confront their oppressors on the field of battle as Allied soldiers in WWII. Told by veterans reflecting on their experiences in the war, there are astounding parallels between the events of WWII and events on the world stage today: the reasons for war, immigration policies, war crimes and the power of world leaders. These stories are ones of heartbreak, courage and the triumph of the human spirit.
