The so-called “Ritchie Boys” were mostly Jewish immigrants from Germany and Austria and were specially trained in counterintelligence, interrogation, investigation and psychological warfare. In top secret operations, they were used both here and on the front lines to assist in the fight against the Nazis. Visitors can tour the grounds and the museum. Wed-Sat, 10am-4pm, & Sunday 12pm-4pm.
