The final weeks of World War II. His Majesty's Jewish Brigade - the only all-Jewish fighting unit in the war - goes into combat against the hated Nazis...and comes away victorious.
It
is after the war, though, that the real story of the Brigade begins. Amidst
the chaos of post-war Europe, and under the noses of the occupying Allied
armies, the young Jewish soldiers mastermind one clandestine operation after
the next: forming secret vengeance squads to assassinate Nazi officers in
hiding...engineering the rescue and illegal movement of Holocaust survivors
to Palestine. Later, in 1948, Brigade veterans help organize and lead the fledgling Israel Defense Forces in their new country's War of
Independence. From
the trenches of Northern Italy to the refugee camps of war-torn Europe, In
our Own Hands unravels the thrilling tale of young Jewish soldiers who
carried the weight of a people on their shoulders. (85 minutes)
