Operation Benjamin: Finding lost Jewish-American war heroes and honoring their memory

An organization tracks down the Jewish heroes of World Wars I and II, and honors them with the symbol of their faith, even more than a century after they made the ultimate sacrifice.

 OPERATION BENJAMIN’S co-founder and chief historian, Shalom Lamm, estimates that between 600 and 900 American Jewish soldiers from both World Wars are mistakenly buried under crosses. Here, late US serviceman Howard Feldman receives a Jewish headstone.
