At our winter program on January 26, Jason Wetzel presented a program
on Georgia POW Camps in World War II, his recently released book
co-authored with Kathryn Roe Coker. In a talk illustrated with many
amazing slides, Mr. Wetzel described the lives of those POWs after
their capture—including the process of removing them to camps in
America and their daily lives in those camps. Twelve thousand POWs
were sent to Georgia where they underwent prisoner re-education and
work programs, particularly on farms. The audience was entranced by the presentation and the archival slides.
