AMERICANS AND THE HOLOCAUST—Showing: Band of Brothers, Episode 9

AMERICANS AND THE HOLOCAUST—BAND OF BROTHERS, EPISODE 9 SCREENING WITH PRESENTATION BY JANEEN RASTALL

The Lydia M. Olson Library was selected as one of 50 U.S. libraries to present the touring version of the Americans and the Holocaust special exhibition, which opened in April 2018 at the Museum in Washington, D.C., during the Museum’s 25th anniversary.

As part of the exhibition, we have partnered with the Peter White Public Library to show Band of Brothers, episode 9: "Why We Fight" on Wednesday, October 19th. Join us in the Community Room of the Peter White Library at 6:30 p.m. for the film screening.  

Why We Fight depicts the liberation of a Nazi Concentration Camp. Following the screening, presenter Janeen Rastall will share her father's (Colonel David E. Pergrin) memories on the liberation of the concentration camp, Dachau, while the 291st was attached to the 99th Infantry Division. She will discuss this event’s lasting effect on his life. This event is free admission.
