During the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944, thousands of American GIs were captured by German forces. Berga: Soldiers of Another War, the final work in the distinguished career of four-time Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Charles Guggenheim, is the untold story of 350 American POWs caught in the tragedy of the Holocaust. In blatant violation of the Geneva Convention, the Jewish American soldiers in the 106th Infantry Division, together with those who had "Jewish-sounding" names or who "looked" Jewish, were shipped off to the slave-labor camp at Berga am Elster, a satellite camp of the infamous Buchenwald.
Berga Soldiers of Another War reveals the untold story of 350 American prisoners of war caught in the tragedy of the Holocaust. It is the final work in the distinguished 50 year career of late documentary filmmaker Charles Guggenheim, winner of four Academy Awards. His personal connection to the story compelled him to write, direct and narrate the film.
