His parents were Russian\nImmigrants who spoke Russian, Yiddish, and English in his household. He had three brothers\nWilliam, Abraham, and Joseph, as well as one sister, Marion. His family subsisted below the poverty\nline for most his childhood. Jack was working at the Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia manufacturing ammunition when he was drafted into the U.S. Army on October 10, 1942. He entered the Army Specialized Training Progam at the University of St. Louis from July 20, 1943 until March 16, 1944. He held various assignments within the Continental United States until he was shipped overseas to the European Theater of Operations with the 324th Infantry Regiment, 44th Infantry Division, as a Squad Leader (E-5, Sergeant) of a light weapons squad. He landed in France with the Division on September 15, 1944 and participated in campaigns in France and Germany, eventually earning five \"battle stars,\"  the Combat Infantry Badge, and a Bronze Star Medal.\n \nIt was during his time in France that Rifkin acquired most of his war souvenirs. He was involved in\noperations that freed French Freedom Fighters from German POW camps.  Most of the German\ndecorations and badges were taken from German Prisoners of War. The Walther PP pistol in this collection was given to Rifkin by the Free French in appreciation for their liberation. Rifkin served as part of the American forces that occupied Germany immediately after the war ended in Europe.  Upon departure from France, all of the soldiers were told they were forbidden to bring guns to the United States as war  souvenirs. A warning was issued that stated anyone caught with weapons in their seabag would be detained from departing on the ship returning to the United States.  Hundreds of weapons were voluntarily removed from seabags and placed on the dock. Jack refused to go along, and took his chances due to the high regard he had for the Walther pistol. The warning was a bluff. No searches were conducted, and thus he successfully brought the weapon home.\n \nAfter discharge, Jack met and married Marilyn Weiner in Philadelphia on October 12, 1947. After\nexperiencing some health related issues, Jack and Marilyn moved to Miami, Florida in the early\n1950's. They had a daughter (Roberta) on December 25, 1956 and a son (Donald) on May 25,\n1960. Marilyn remained a homemaker her entire life. Jack was a salesman of building supplies to Cynaman Bros. Construction. He and Marilyn retired to Pompano Beach from Miami, where he enjoyed fishing from the Pompano Beach fishing pier three days a week. Marilyn passed away at the age of 66 in 1993 from a stroke in Pompano Beach. FL. They were married 47 years. Jack remained active\nin his retirement until he was debilitated by a stroke.  His daughter Roberta had him transferred\nto a hospice facility near her home in Georgia where he passed away six months later from his illness on June 29, 2002 in Riverside, GA.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection relates to Sergeant Jack Rifkin who served with the 324th Infantry Regiment, 44th Infantry Division, in the European Theater of Operations during World War II.

His parents were Russian\nImmigrants who spoke Russian, Yiddish, and English in his household. He had three brothers\nWilliam, Abraham, and Joseph, as well as one sister, Marion. His family subsisted below the poverty\nline for most his childhood. Jack was working at the Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia manufacturing ammunition when he was drafted into the U.S. Army on October 10, 1942. He entered the Army Specialized Training Progam at the University of St. Louis from July 20, 1943 until March 16, 1944. He held various assignments within the Continental United States until he was shipped overseas to the European Theater of Operations with the 324th Infantry Regiment, 44th Infantry Division, as a Squad Leader (E-5, Sergeant) of a light weapons squad. He landed in France with the Division on September 15, 1944 and participated in campaigns in France and Germany, eventually earning five \"battle stars,\"  the Combat Infantry Badge, and a Bronze Star Medal.\n \nIt was during his time in France that Rifkin acquired most of his war souvenirs. He was involved in\noperations that freed French Freedom Fighters from German POW camps.  Most of the German\ndecorations and badges were taken from German Prisoners of War. The Walther PP pistol in this collection was given to Rifkin by the Free French in appreciation for their liberation. Rifkin served as part of the American forces that occupied Germany immediately after the war ended in Europe.  Upon departure from France, all of the soldiers were told they were forbidden to bring guns to the United States as war  souvenirs. A warning was issued that stated anyone caught with weapons in their seabag would be detained from departing on the ship returning to the United States.  Hundreds of weapons were voluntarily removed from seabags and placed on the dock. Jack refused to go along, and took his chances due to the high regard he had for the Walther pistol. The warning was a bluff. No searches were conducted, and thus he successfully brought the weapon home.\n \nAfter discharge, Jack met and married Marilyn Weiner in Philadelphia on October 12, 1947. After\nexperiencing some health related issues, Jack and Marilyn moved to Miami, Florida in the early\n1950's. They had a daughter (Roberta) on December 25, 1956 and a son (Donald) on May 25,\n1960. Marilyn remained a homemaker her entire life. Jack was a salesman of building supplies to Cynaman Bros. Construction. He and Marilyn retired to Pompano Beach from Miami, where he enjoyed fishing from the Pompano Beach fishing pier three days a week. Marilyn passed away at the age of 66 in 1993 from a stroke in Pompano Beach. FL. They were married 47 years. Jack remained active\nin his retirement until he was debilitated by a stroke.  His daughter Roberta had him transferred\nto a hospice facility near her home in Georgia where he passed away six months later from his illness on June 29, 2002 in Riverside, GA.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection relates to Sergeant Jack Rifkin who served with the 324th Infantry Regiment, 44th Infantry Division, in the European Theater of Operations during World War II.

His parents were Russian\nImmigrants who spoke Russian, Yiddish, and English in his household. He had three brothers\nWilliam, Abraham, and Joseph, as well as one sister, Marion. His family subsisted below the poverty\nline for most his childhood. Jack was working at the Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia manufacturing ammunition when he was drafted into the U.S. Army on October 10, 1942. He entered the Army Specialized Training Progam at the University of St. Louis from July 20, 1943 until March 16, 1944. He held various assignments within the Continental United States until he was shipped overseas to the European Theater of Operations with the 324th Infantry Regiment, 44th Infantry Division, as a Squad Leader (E-5, Sergeant) of a light weapons squad. He landed in France with the Division on September 15, 1944 and participated in campaigns in France and Germany, eventually earning five \"battle stars,\"  the Combat Infantry Badge, and a Bronze Star Medal.\n \nIt was during his time in France that Rifkin acquired most of his war souvenirs. He was involved in\noperations that freed French Freedom Fighters from German POW camps.  Most of the German\ndecorations and badges were taken from German Prisoners of War. The Walther PP pistol in this collection was given to Rifkin by the Free French in appreciation for their liberation. Rifkin served as part of the American forces that occupied Germany immediately after the war ended in Europe.  Upon departure from France, all of the soldiers were told they were forbidden to bring guns to the United States as war  souvenirs. A warning was issued that stated anyone caught with weapons in their seabag would be detained from departing on the ship returning to the United States.  Hundreds of weapons were voluntarily removed from seabags and placed on the dock. Jack refused to go along, and took his chances due to the high regard he had for the Walther pistol. The warning was a bluff. No searches were conducted, and thus he successfully brought the weapon home.\n \nAfter discharge, Jack met and married Marilyn Weiner in Philadelphia on October 12, 1947. After\nexperiencing some health related issues, Jack and Marilyn moved to Miami, Florida in the early\n1950's. They had a daughter (Roberta) on December 25, 1956 and a son (Donald) on May 25,\n1960. Marilyn remained a homemaker her entire life. Jack was a salesman of building supplies to Cynaman Bros. Construction. He and Marilyn retired to Pompano Beach from Miami, where he enjoyed fishing from the Pompano Beach fishing pier three days a week. Marilyn passed away at the age of 66 in 1993 from a stroke in Pompano Beach. FL. They were married 47 years. Jack remained active\nin his retirement until he was debilitated by a stroke.  His daughter Roberta had him transferred\nto a hospice facility near her home in Georgia where he passed away six months later from his illness on June 29, 2002 in Riverside, GA.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection relates to Sergeant Jack Rifkin who served with the 324th Infantry Regiment, 44th Infantry Division, in the European Theater of Operations during World War II.

His parents were Russian\nImmigrants who spoke Russian, Yiddish, and English in his household. He had three brothers\nWilliam, Abraham, and Joseph, as well as one sister, Marion. His family subsisted below the poverty\nline for most his childhood. Jack was working at the Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia manufacturing ammunition when he was drafted into the U.S. Army on October 10, 1942. He entered the Army Specialized Training Progam at the University of St. Louis from July 20, 1943 until March 16, 1944. He held various assignments within the Continental United States until he was shipped overseas to the European Theater of Operations with the 324th Infantry Regiment, 44th Infantry Division, as a Squad Leader (E-5, Sergeant) of a light weapons squad. He landed in France with the Division on September 15, 1944 and participated in campaigns in France and Germany, eventually earning five \"battle stars,\"  the Combat Infantry Badge, and a Bronze Star Medal.\n \nIt was during his time in France that Rifkin acquired most of his war souvenirs. He was involved in\noperations that freed French Freedom Fighters from German POW camps.  Most of the German\ndecorations and badges were taken from German Prisoners of War. The Walther PP pistol in this collection was given to Rifkin by the Free French in appreciation for their liberation. Rifkin served as part of the American forces that occupied Germany immediately after the war ended in Europe.  Upon departure from France, all of the soldiers were told they were forbidden to bring guns to the United States as war  souvenirs. A warning was issued that stated anyone caught with weapons in their seabag would be detained from departing on the ship returning to the United States.  Hundreds of weapons were voluntarily removed from seabags and placed on the dock. Jack refused to go along, and took his chances due to the high regard he had for the Walther pistol. The warning was a bluff. No searches were conducted, and thus he successfully brought the weapon home.\n \nAfter discharge, Jack met and married Marilyn Weiner in Philadelphia on October 12, 1947. After\nexperiencing some health related issues, Jack and Marilyn moved to Miami, Florida in the early\n1950's. They had a daughter (Roberta) on December 25, 1956 and a son (Donald) on May 25,\n1960. Marilyn remained a homemaker her entire life. Jack was a salesman of building supplies to Cynaman Bros. Construction. He and Marilyn retired to Pompano Beach from Miami, where he enjoyed fishing from the Pompano Beach fishing pier three days a week. Marilyn passed away at the age of 66 in 1993 from a stroke in Pompano Beach. FL. They were married 47 years. Jack remained active\nin his retirement until he was debilitated by a stroke.  His daughter Roberta had him transferred\nto a hospice facility near her home in Georgia where he passed away six months later from his illness on June 29, 2002 in Riverside, GA.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection relates to Sergeant Jack Rifkin who served with the 324th Infantry Regiment, 44th Infantry Division, in the European Theater of Operations during World War II.

Gentges was born on February 12, 1918, in Farmington, Missouri. Prior to his enlistment in April of 1941, he worked as a laundry foreman who enjoyed classical music and writing. At the age of 23 the Selective Service Act of September 1940 required him to enlist. By April 1941 he was training at Camp Claiborne in Louisiana where he became a rifleman and staff sergeant for the Infantry's 113th Regiment in the 34th Infantry Division nicknamed \"Red Bull Division.\" From February 1942 to October 1944 he served in the European African Middle Eastern Theatre in the Tunisian Campaign, Rome-Arno campaign, and North Apennines Campaign. His service ended abruptly on October 19, 1944 in Cecina, Italy when he received a gunshot wound which broke his femur, for which he was awarded his third Purple Heart Medal. Aside from Purple Heart, Gentges was also awarded a Bronze Star Medal, 5 overseas service bars, one three-year service stripe, a combat infantry badge, an American defense service ribbon, and maintained good conduct throughout his service. The details of his service can be found in his memoir compiled by his daughter in 2001 and contained in the collection.\n \nIt is evident in Gentges memoirs, diary entries, and letters that he is a devout Catholic. He attended mass in both England and Ireland where he observed the Catholic/Protestant controversy and was particularly impressed with the religiosity of Ireland. When serving in Italy, he visited Rome twice where the Pope blessed his rosary. Later, Gentges became a member of the Society for the Propagation of Faith and wrote a letter to the society saying that he detested his destructive job, especially as a man of god, but understood his duty to his country. Gentges wrote \"at present I'm in the hospital with a battle injury. Soon I must return with rifle in hand to the job I detest. A man has a duty toward his country. Thus I attempt to do the best my poor abilities as a soldier will permit. Otherwise I leave everything else to whatever God wills\".  \n \nAfter officially leaving the service in August of 1945, Gentges married Florence Schwartz whom he had known since a youth on October 27, 1945 in their hometown of Farmington, Missouri. Beginning as childhood friends, Gentges admitted that once he had never had feelings for Florence, but through their letters during his service he realized his feelings for her. From then they were set to get married upon his return to the United States. Their relationship can be traced through their letters which have been copied and partially transcribed by their only daughter Mary Gentges. Charles R. Gentges passed away on February 13, 2006 and is buried along with his wife Florence and daugther Mary Elizabeth Gentges in Mount Calvary Cemetery, Saint Marys, Kansas, MO.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection relates to Staff Sergeant Charles R. Gentges who served with the 34th Infantry Division in the North African and Italian campaigns during World War II. He was awarded the Purple Heart Medal with two oak leaf clusters and the Bronze Star Medal. The collection also relates Charles R.

At the age of 23 the Selective Service Act of September 1940 required him to enlist. By April 1941 he was training at Camp Claiborne in Louisiana where he became a rifleman and staff sergeant for the Infantry's 113th Regiment in the 34th Infantry Division nicknamed \"Red Bull Division.\" From February 1942 to October 1944 he served in the European African Middle Eastern Theatre in the Tunisian Campaign, Rome-Arno campaign, and North Apennines Campaign. His service ended abruptly on October 19, 1944 in Cecina, Italy when he received a gunshot wound which broke his femur, for which he was awarded his third Purple Heart Medal. Aside from Purple Heart, Gentges was also awarded a Bronze Star Medal, 5 overseas service bars, one three-year service stripe, a combat infantry badge, an American defense service ribbon, and maintained good conduct throughout his service.

Later, Gentges became a member of the Society for the Propagation of Faith and wrote a letter to the society saying that he detested his destructive job, especially as a man of god, but understood his duty to his country. Gentges wrote \"at present I'm in the hospital with a battle injury. Soon I must return with rifle in hand to the job I detest. A man has a duty toward his country.

The collection consists of letters, photographs (depicting herself and her fellow nurses in uniform, as well as African American G.I.s, and a few photographs from her time in West Africa), personal items, books, manuscripts, newspaper clippings, and interviews. The materials mainly document Bertram's time at Fort Bragg, NC, but there is some information concerning her life before enlistment, travels during enlistment, and life after enlistment.
