Larry Martin's World War II: In Their Own Words

This installment of Larry Martin's lecture series "In Their Own Words" will follow Bill Ingrahm, Death Railway POW.

Mr. Ingrahm was taken prisoner by the Japanese and forced to work on the railway connecting Thailand to Burma (which included the infamous bridge over the River Kwai). This railway would become known as the "Death Railway" as 100,000 forced laborers lost their lives during construction.

Martin presents historic memorabilia along with  Mr. Ingrahm's recorded interview, where he explains how he survived horrible working conditions and malnourishment during his imprisonment.

This event will be held on August 9th, 2012 at 6:30pm at the Dexter District Library and is free to the public.

Families are welcome, but due to the nature of the presentation, parental discretion is advised.
