History at Home: POW Camps of Wisconsin

Wisconsin had 38 POW camps during World War II, housing 20,000 POWs. This presentation by Bob Block covers an overview of US POWs and POW camps and specific information regarding WI POW camps.

Join us in the McLane Room as we explore the stories of those who were prisoners of war at a Wisconsin POW camp, those who worked alongside those POWs, and those who may have lived in a community or near a community that once housed a POW camp.
