The screening will be preceded by a Zoom talk with filmmaker Joseph Cahn and followed by a conversation with Dr. Jennifer Hoyer, Director of Jewish Studies at the University of Arkansas.

This film is about 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 become a U.S. Government agent. After immigrating to America, he began a 25-year career with a small Ohio company owned by Orthodox Jews. Peter Ertel, 95 at the time of filming, tells his incredible and inspiring life story. An unprecedented narrative of that era which, sadly, has newfound relevance to our current times.
