Bus-eum
Traveling WWII Exhibit
Coming Sunday, May 18 from 1:00-4:00
p.m.
The Evergreen Community Library is
thrilled to bring the Bus-eum to our
Library. Through this free tour, you
will see, hear and experience the untold
stories of those who were captured as
POWs in Nazi Germany. After touring the
Bus-eum join us in the Community Room
for refreshments and American War
profiles from our local history
collection.
“Behind Barbed Wire” explores the
experiences of Midwest prisoners of war
(POWs) in Nazi Germany in WWII, and the
human context in which their experiences
took place. The St. Paul-based,
non-profit educational organization
TRACES created this exhibit, which
consists of display panels illustrated
with photographs, documents, audio and
DVD documentaries, artifacts and more.
Visitors of the exhibit will gain
insights into conditions the POWs
experienced; how art, free time, and
religion helped POWs survive; assistance
that was given by Germans and Austrians;
how liberated POWs later came to terms
with their experiences. More information
about TRACES and the BUS-eum is on-line
at www.TRACES.org.
We would like to thank the Metamora Area
Historical Society for assisting in
underwriting this special event.
