2016-11-10 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Denver) | Silver City Museum Annex
A presentation of slides, historical accounts, and artifacts with historian Mollie Pressler. Between 1942 and 1945, the small town of Lordsburg became very big in the war effort. An Army camp built there held Japanese residents, Italian prisoners of war, and German prisoners of war. Using historical accounts, artifacts, and slides, Pressler presents a very detailed overview of the lives of the Americans on the home front, and the prisoners detained.
