“Living With the Enemy: WWII POWs in Michigan” will take place on Wednesday, June 12, at 7 p.m.

During WWII, Michigan hosted about 6,000 German and Italian prisoners of war in camps throughout both peninsulas. The POWs cut pulpwood, harvested and canned fruit, and filled other jobs. Escape attempts were rare, and many prisoners enjoyed their forced stay in America. Join us to explore this little-known chapter of Michigan history.
