BUS-eum 3 - German POWs in the Midwest

For the third year in a row, Mildred Johnson Library will be sponsoring a visit from the traveling TRACES exhibit, known as the BUS-eum. The TRACES museum in St. Paul focuses on events of the Second World War that relate to the MidWest region of the United States. Although far from the action on the battlefield, even this part of the country was directly impacted by Prisoners of War on both sides of the conflict.

On Tuesday, September 9, from 11-2, the BUS-eum will be back with exhibits about German POWs held in this part of the country. There were several POW camps in this region, and many local residents still remember them and the impact they had on local communities. The exhibit will also be at Leach Public Library later in the afternoon and evening.

Here is the link to the TRACES web site on this exhibit –

It's a great opportunity see and compare what happened half a century ago with what is going on now in regard to Prisoners of War in our country.
