Jagman Productions and producer Josh Green have acquired the rights to adapt Bruce Henderson’s “Sons and Soldiers,” with acclaimed Israeli filmmaker Avi Nesher set to direct.

Henderson’s book follows a small group of young German-born Jewish refugees who escaped from Nazi-occupied Europe and resettled in America in the 1930s. After the United States entered the war, they were recruited by the Army and trained as interrogators and translators at Camp Ritchie. At great personal risk, they returned to wartorn Europe to fight for their adopted homeland and for the families they had left behind. The book was a New York Times bestseller.
