ABOUT FACE
Here is 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 fields of battle as Allied soldiers in World War II. These are their stories of heartbreak, courage and the triumph of the human spirit as the veterans recount their journeys back to their homelands and the battlefronts, experiencing emotions more complex than revenge as they re-examine their identities as refugees, immigrants and soldiers.

THE GREAT INDIAN WARS 1540-1890
The year 1540 was a crucial turning point in American
history. The Great Indian Wars were incited by Francisco
Vazquez de Coronado when his expedition to the Great
Plains launched the inevitable 350 year struggle between
the white man and the American Indians. From the point
forward, the series of battles the United States and
the Native American Indians began where blood was shed
and thousands of lives were lost on both sides. The
Battle Tippecanoe, the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, all
three Seminole Wars and the Battle of Little Big Horn
were some of the most important conflicts that led
up to the last official massacre, the Battle of Wounded
Knee, where the defeat of the Indians was solidified.
America’s landscape would be forever changed.
