JWV National Conference | Atlantic City, NJ

The 129th Annual National Convention of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America (JWV), held in Atlantic City from September 8 to 13, 2024, marked the commencement of our documentary project. The event began with an inspiring speech by Kim Bass, who shared the remarkable story of my grandfather, Philip M. Goldstein Graham, a humble yet extraordinary Jewish American veteran.

Following Mr. Bass’ heartfelt address, numerous veterans were inspired to share their own experiences, providing invaluable insights into the diverse narratives of Jewish American service members.

As we continue to develop this project, we remain committed to capturing the authentic voices and stories of these veterans, shedding light on their invaluable contributions to our nation's history.
