The Book Circle will meet on October 20, at 2 PM, to unveil the WWII saga of the German-Jewish commandos who fought in Britain’s most secretive special-forces unit. The commandos — actually Jewish refugees who have escaped to Britain — will stop at nothing to thwart the Nazis. Trained in counterintelligence and advanced combat, this top secret unit becomes known as X Troop.

Author Leah Garrett follows this unique band of brothers to British internment camps, the beaches of Normandy, the battlefields of Italy and Holland, and to the Terezin concentration camp — the scene of one of the most dramatic yet untold rescues of the war.

The Book Circle meets monthly to explore works about Jews and by Jewish writers. For information, call the shul at 631-477-0232 and leave a message for Susan Rosenstreich, coordinator of the group.
