Re: Two Questions -- Conference on POWs



Coincidentally, this conference announcement just came through on another listserv I read:

The inaugural "Conference on WWII-Era POWs" will take
place 5-8 October 2002 in Muscatine, Iowa--the site of
a former German POW camp and a current exhibit, "The
Third Reich in Iowa: German POW Art and Artifacts".
Keynote speaker Lewis Carlson (Western Michigan U.)
co-authored--with Dresden museum director and panelist
Norbert Haase--"We Were Each Other's Prisoners/Warten
auf Freiheit". Additional panelists include Heino
Erichsen (former German soldier and POW, now head of
an international adoption agency) and Howard Hong
(one-time War Prisoners Aid of World YMCA
representative who toured most Midwest POW camps
during WWII) and Mike Waters, a Texas A & M
anthropology professor who heads POW-camp excavations.
The Monday Film Night will feature at least three
POW-related films.


The exhibit will feature some of the more than 1,000
items from TRACES' collection, including many works of
art, photographs, letters, journals, personal affects
and other relics, from 6 October 2002 through 5
January 2003 at the Muscatine [Iowa] Art Center.
