Most people are unaware that Wisconsin had POW (Prisoners of War) camps during WWII and are surprised to learn that there were 39 of them having a total of approximately 20,000 POWs. In this presentation, learn about the POW camps in the United State and Wisconsin. This presentation tells interesting stories of those who may have lived in a community that once had a POW camp, those who worked side by side with POWs and those who were once prisoners in a POW camp. You will find this presentation to be informative, educational and entertaining.
The presenter, Bob Block, is a resident of Oregon, Wisconsin, and a member of their historical society. He has presented this program to many groups across the state.
This program is free and open to the public. We hope to see you there!
