We welcome two Ritchie Boys to the Veterans Breakfast Club: [[Fairbrook, Paul (32709209)|Paul Fairbrook]] and [[Lerner, Maximilian (32908439)|Maximilian Lerner]]. We’re also joined by Beverley Eddy, author of ''Ritchie Boy Secrets'', which tells the story of this now declassified program. Maximilian Lerner immigrated from Vienna to New York in 1941, then enlisted in the US Army and went back to Europe as an American soldier in 1944. He was recruited into the Office of Strategic Services as a special agent for secret missions in Germany. Paul Fairbrook used a valuable stamp collection to make it to the US from Berlin in the late 1930s before being drafted into the Army and trained at Camp Ritchie, Maryland. He also served in Europe overseeing interrogations and review of captured German documents. Beverley Eddy is a historian and author of ''Ritchie Boy Secrets: How a Force of Immigrants and Refugees Helped Win World War II.'' She will guide the conversation with our veterans about this fascinating story. | We welcome two Ritchie Boys to the Veterans Breakfast Club: [[Fairbrook, Paul (32709209)|Paul Fairbrook]] and [[Lerner, Maximilian (32908439)|Maximilian Lerner]].

[[Fairbrook, Paul (32709209)|Paul Fairbrook]] was born Paul Schoenbach in Berlin in 1923. His family left Germany for Palestine in 1933 and reached the United States after a 1937 transit through Amsterdam secured with a stamp collection. Drafted in January 1943, he trained at [[Camp Ritchie]] in [[Class 7]] and worked at Fort Hunt’s P.O. Box 1142 documenting the German Army order of battle. After the war he led food-service programs at the Culinary Institute of America and several universities. | |||
This July 2011 Zekelman Holocaust Center oral history covers his emigration, Camp Ritchie training, Fort Hunt document work, and postwar career. | |||
