OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) Joanne Bruer, Ret. History Instructor, Jacksonville State University will give some insight into the lives of some of the 435,000 POWs interned in the US, along with their American guards and the local people. Some were staunch Nazis and battle-hardened veterans but many were young draftees conscripted as schoolboys and some were not even Germans. They were individuals with varied hopes, dreams and beliefs. See www.ollibham.org
