SUMMARY:American St. Nick - Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text]The previously scheduled October 12 Education Program at the Wright Museum of WWII has been cancelled. However\, the documentary film “The American St\, Nick” will be screened on October 12 from 7-8:00pm. \nThe film “The American St. Nick” is based on the book by the same name by author Peter Lion. Lion will be present for the screening and will discuss the making of the film by the WWII Foundation’s Tim Gray. \nLion spoke about his book at the Wright Museum on September 12\, 2021. This is a wonderful opportunity to actually see the people\, places and events that comprise the true story of how a handful of American GIs bring Christmas back to a small Luxembourg town caught up in World War II. It is a heart-warming Christmas tale that spans seven decades and continues to this day\, honoring the sacrifices of all American soldiers who helped liberate Europe in WWII. \nMuseum doors open at 6:00pm and the Lion presentation begins at 7:00. The film will be shown at the Museum in the new DuQuoin Education Center. \nAdmission is $3 per person for Museum Members and $8 for non-Members. Reservations are strongly encouraged and can be made by calling the Museum at 603-569-1212.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

The Allies considered and implemented a variety of deceptions\, sometimes massive ones\, against the Axis powers. From the invasion of Sicily to the landings at Normandy\, the Allies benefited from lies and deceptions that started before the first shots were fired and spread well beyond the battlefield. \nMarion Dorsey is an associate professor of history and a core faculty member in Justice Studies at the University of New Hampshire.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Armed with truckloads of inflatable tanks\, a massive collection of sound-effects records\, and more than a few tricks up their sleeves\, they created a traveling road show of deception on the battlefields of Europe\, with the German Army as their audience. The Ghost Army is a riveting tale told through personal accounts and sketches. And yes\, there will be an inflatable tank on display. \n6:00-7:00 p.m. – Meet Rick Beyer before the lecture and see one of the Ghost Army vehicles. \nHistorian Rick Beyer is a best-selling author\, award-winning filmmaker\, and popular speaker. He wrote and directed the acclaimed documentary film The Ghost Army\, which premiered on PBS in 2013. \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

A literary critic said of the novel: “Through the eyes of Fiona Denning\, a Red Cross Clubmobile worker\, and her colleagues\, we witness firsthand not only acts of courage and sacrifice\, but also the romantic bonds that grow even during the horrors of war. Healey’s superb research lets us see the decimated cities\, smell the doughnuts and coffee handed out at great risk on the front lines\, and hear the big band music—as well as the approach of the next bomb.” \nJane Healey left a career in high tech to become a freelance writer. Her passion for historical fiction became her new career when her debut novel\, The Saturday Evening Girls Club\, was published in 2017. The novel is based on the true story of a group of Jewish and Italian immigrant women in Boston’s North End at the turn of the 20th century. With the release of The Beantown Girls\, she continues to fulfill her dream of writing about lesser-known stories of women in American history. \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Instead\, they were arrested by the Germans and given a choice: disregard the armistice and continue fighting under Fascist or Nazi command or be taken to a German prison camp. An estimated 650\,000 Italian soldiers chose prison camp. Ferruccio Francesco Frisone was one of those soldiers\, and his story will be told by his son in this unique presentation. \nGiovanni R. Frisone\, PhD\, is a clinical psychologist. Along with his wife\, Deborah Smith Frisone\, he has been working for the past fifteen years to tell the little-known story of the Italian Military Internees through his father’s diary and drawings from the war years.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:Plants Go To War: A Botanical History of World War II
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.3.1″ custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3\,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.3.1″][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.3.1″][et_pb_image src=”https://www.wrightmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/plants-go-to-war.jpg” _builder_version=”4.5.3″][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.3.1″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.7″] \nLecture and book signing by author Judith Sumner\n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.7″ text_font_size=”20px”]As the first botanical history of World War II\, Plants Go to War examines military history from the perspective of plant science. From victory gardens to drugs\, timber\, rubber\, and fibers\, plants supplied materials that played key roles in winning the war. Vegetables provided the wartime diet both in North America and Europe\, where vitamin-rich carrots\, cabbages\, and potatoes nourished millions. In England and Germany\, herbs replaced pharmaceutical drugs; feverbark was in demand to treat malaria\, and penicillin culture used a growth medium made from corn. Rubber was needed for gas masks and barrage balloons\, while cotton and hemp provided clothing\, canvas\, and rope. The list is endless. But Sumner will educate us all. \nJudith Sumner is a botanist and author who lives in Worcester\, Massachusetts.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:Women of Espionage

However\, the reality of how thousands of female operatives served extends far beyond the stereotype. Listen to first-hand\, hair-raising accounts about the world-wide exploits of these stalwart women. \nLinda Shenton Matchett writes about ordinary people who did extraordinary things in days gone by. She is a volunteer docent and archivist at the Wright Museum of World War II and a trustee for her local public library.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
