Dan Gross, the historian for the Ritchie Boys, mentioned a book written in 1990 by Ritchie Boy Frederick G. Cohn, entitled, "Signals: Young Refugee's Flight from Germany in the Thirties." Has anyone read this book? I'm getting a copy and will share information about it with the Ritchie Boy community. | |||
