| Summary |
During the infamous Battle of the Bulge, eleven brave African American soldiers were brutally massacred by Nazis in the village of Wereth, Belgium. Although they sacrificed their lives during a time when they were not treated equally even on American soil, this heroic story was left out of the history books. It took seventy years for the United States Congress to recognize the valor and bravery of these eleven men. The Lost Eleven not only tells the individual stories of these artillerymen, the Belgian family that took them in, and the boy who couldn't forget the courageous men who died in the field but also sheds new light on the contributions of black Americans during World War II. |
