Cedar Rapids Humanities Iowa event, November 11



In the last in its series of Humanities Iowa events, the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library (NCSML) is presenting clips from its oral history project in Cedar Rapids on November 11.

The event, titled Remembering World War II, will see oral history project staff Rosie Johnston and Katie Shaffer show footage presenting Slovaks' and Czechs' memories of World War II. Clips will highlight the stories of those who spent the War in hiding, as well as those who encountered American, Soviet and German troops. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Margaret Haupt, professor emerita of political science at Coe College.

The event will take place at the NCSML (1400 Inspiration Place SW, Cedar Rapids IA 52404) at 2:00 p.m. It is free and open to the public. There is no need to RSVP.
