Professor Frey will discuss the remarkable story of the World War II Military Intelligence Training Center (MITC) at Camp Ritchie, Maryland, which recruited refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe, including several thousand Jews, to help the war effort. It ultimately graduated over 15,000 soldiers who made substantial contributions to the success of the Allied war effort in every theater. Other recruits included Native Americans, African Americans, women, artists, intellectuals, and Japanese Americans who came from internment camps.
