"Zaidy's Band" follows journalist Aron Heller's decade-long search to uncover his grandfather Mickey Heller's hidden World War II service. Through interviews, travels, and long conversations, Heller uncovers lost friendships, personal tragedy, heroism, and emotional reunions within a remarkable group of Jewish Canadian soldiers.
Part memoir, part history, and part mystery, "Zaidy's Band" shows how ordinary men fighting Nazism left extraordinary legacies, shaping their families and the future for generations.
