This year's featured speaker will be World War II veteran Robert Max. In 1942, at age 20, Robert "Bob" Max left a comfortable college life at Ohio University to enlist in the U.S. Army. He was one of many American-Jewish soldiers who signed up to help defeat the Nazis. Bob fought in three major battle campaigns across Europe before he was captured during the climactic Battle of the Bulge and forced into slave labor. His recent book, "The Long March Home," tells the story of his ordeal as a slave laborer.
