Abstract

A self-selected group of refugees from Nazi-dominated Europe returned overseas to fight the Nazis as US citizens in Military Intelligence. The author's father, a refugee from Hungary, kept a diary of his service as an aerial photo interpreter and Counter Intelligence Corps special agent in the US army. His diary offers a vivid example of Richard Weisberg's exhortation to remain true to "our best and deepest values" during times of crisis - a code of conduct that applies to military service as well as the practice of law. © 2017 by The Cardozo School of Law of Yeshiva University.
