Frozen boots, bullet storms, and bonfires with the enemy

In this powerful tribute episode, we honor WWII hero Sydney Levit—a Jewish-American glider infantryman under General Patton who survived the Battle of the Bulge, the Dead Man’s Ridge, and the liberation of a concentration camp. From Philly streets to war-torn Europe, Levit’s story is one of grit, heart, and a lifelong love of ice cream. A tale of humanity in wartime you won’t forget.
