WWII POW Reunions & Guards

Recently, I have received an Email from a filmmaker from Jersey City, NJ.  Roland Millman  is looking for people, organizations with any kind of information about the German POWs and POW camps in the U.S. during WWII. Mr. Millman is the owner of Brightscreen Productions.  They produce films, videos for corporate use - motivational, sales, promotion, advertising and training.  If you can search for "They Were Not Silent" and "Roland Millman ", you will find fesitval references concerning his last documentary film, "They Were Not Silent:  The Jewish Labor Movement and the Holocaust." 

The project he is working on now concerns the WWII POW camps in the USA.  It is being co-produced by Millman's Brightscreen Productions and Dieter Marcello.  Dieter's company is Filmmedia  GmbH in Marbach, Germany.

Millman has been doing research at the National Archives which has provided a good base for the film.  He has been in contact with a number of former POWs and ex-U.S. Army guards. A number of researchers and scholars have agreed to help with the endeavor.

Millman says, "Financing for the project will be financed through production grants from foundations supported by the German government, U.S. public and private arts and humanities grants, private donations and distribution proceeds.  The film will be produced as a project of a U.S. non-profit organization."

Millman would like to hookup with people, groups and organizations with any kind of information about the German POWs and POW camps in the USA during WWII.  He partically interested in speaking with people;  interviewing them on-camera; and filming at reunions, gatherings and ceremonies surrounding the former POWs and POW camps.

For more information, you may contact Roland Millman to check out his credentials via E-mail ruvn@aol.com
