Atlanta Jewish Film Festival – They Fight With Cameras

A newly found cache of wartime letters unlocks a gripping first-person account of WWII through the eyes of a Jewish American soldier who held a camera, not a rifle, in history’s defining battles. U.S. Army Signal Corps combat cameraman Walter Rosenblum stormed Omaha Beach on D-Day, filmed the brutal Allied advance across France and Germany, weathered bitter winter campaigns, and was among the first Americans to document the liberation of Dachau. Alongside rarely seen photographs and rediscovered combat footage, his long-buried letters trace fear, camaraderie, moral resolve, and shock. Gracefully narrated by Liev Schreiber, this powerful act of bearing witness honors the unsung cameramen who risked their lives to create the indelible images that forever shaped the world’s understanding of war.
