Working with the Enemy - WWII POW Camps in Iowa
January 18 | 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.Council Bluffs Public Library
UNfortunately, this event has already occurred.
What began as an experiment in isolated locations in the south and southwest eventually led to more than 500 camps and 400,000 enemy soldiers interned in the United States, including two camps in Iowa. This talk will focus on the creation of two POW camps in Iowa during the second world war: one in Algona, and one in Clarinda. Presented by Chad Timm, Associate Professor of Education at Simpson College. This program is funded by Humanities Iowa and the National Endowment for the Humanities. This program is free and open to the public and is supported by the Council Bluffs Public Library Foundation.
