Michigan POW Camps
Tuesday, January 29, at 7pm
During WWII, Michigan became a temporary home to 6,000 German & Italian POWs. At a time of homefront labor shortages, they picked fruit in Berrien County, harvested sugar beets in the Thumb, cut pulpwood in the Upper Peninsula and maintained parks & other public spaces in Detroit. The work programs were not flawless and not all of the prisoners were cooperative, but many of the men established enduring friendships with their captors. Learn the story of these detainees and the ordinary Americans who embodied our highest ideals, even amid a global war.
Presented by Greg Sumner, Professor of History, University of Detroit Mercy, and author of Detroit in World War II (History Press, 2015) and Michigan POW Camps in World War II (History Press, 2018).
Sign-up Online. Sponsored by Friends of the Library.
