WWll and Hershey: Continued Relevance after 80 Years

Program presented by Professor Ted Herman.

World War II, the defining moment of the 20th century, brought immense triumph and tragedy. The men and women of Hershey played a crucial role in shaping American culture, impacting families across the nation. From business growth and technological advancements to civil rights, women in the workforce and education, war affected every aspect of American life. Beyond numbers, the war involved an army of people producing war material and making sacrifices to support the military effort.

Come learn about the service and sacrifice of those at home and abroad, through the men and women who served.
