The extraordinary odyssey of a German amateur violinist who becomes a reluctant soldier in Hitler's army and defies overwhelming odds to not only survive World War II, but to become a U.S. Government agent. Then, after immigrating to America, he begins a 25-year career with a small company owned by Orthodox Jews. Peter Ertel, 95 at the time of filming, tells his own incredible and inspiring life story. This is an unprecedented film narrative of that era which, sadly, has newfound relevance to our current times.
Stay afterwards for a special Zoom question-and-answer session with film director Joe Cahn.
