SUMMARY:German POW Camps Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition at the Calvin T. Ryan Library on the University of Nebraska Kearney campus\, a panel discussion will be held at the Kearney Public Library. \nDuring World War II\, Nebraska was the site of several prisoner of war (POW) camps. Join expert panelists for a discussion of German POWs in Nebraska\, POW sites such as Camp Atlanta and Fort Robinson\, and World War II in Nebraska. The Americans and the Holocaust exhibit asks “what did Americans know?”\, a question learning about German POWs\, and what they knew and shared with Nebraskans\, can help us answer. In addition to talking about events of the 1940s\, panelists will also discuss how historic sites interpret this fascinating history. Panelists include Dr. Cole Kruger – Kilgore College\, Melissa Amateis – University of Nebraska-Lincoln\, Will Kessen – Ft. Robinson State Historical Park\, and Micah Hueser – Nebraska Prairie Museum. \nFor more information about the exhibit and other related events\, visit the exhibit website.

SUMMARY:History brownbag with Dr. Hannah Lahti
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition at the Calvin T. Ryan Library on the University of Nebraska Kearney campus\, a lunchtime lecture will be held at the Kearney Public Library. \nAs the Holocaust persisted in Europe\, Americans reacted to the humanitarian crisis in real time and memorialized its victims. In the decades that followed\, memorial efforts in the United States evolved and expanded to create new archives\, museums\, and media to preserve Holocaust memory. Dr. Hannah Lahti\, Assistant Professor of History & Public History\, will highlight the various ways the Holocaust was memorialized in the United States from World War II to the present day\, and how those efforts have changed over time. \nFor more information about the exhibit and other related events\, visit the exhibit website.
