World War II Briefings

Our World War II Briefings program is biannual. The program dates fall closely with Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) and Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day) in May and August.

In August we will welcome Lou Levatan and John Bailey. The stories shared by these men will focus on local men who were members of the military during World War II. Lou will highlight the story of Rabbi Alexander Goode and the Immortals, five men who sacrificed their lives to save others on the SS Dorchester after the ship was hit by a torpedo. John Bailey bring with him the first-hand account of his father Fred J. Bailey Jr., who served with the 66 Infantry Division, 872nd Field Artillery Battalion, Battery B during the war. Register today to join us for a rich discussion about these stories.
