World War II… a WORLD war involving more than 30
countries with more than 50 million casualties. For
younger generations it might be hard to imagine the
turmoil and hardships of the years between 1939 and
1945. Now members of our community will give
visitors an opportunity to learn about this global
conflict through their private collections of museum
quality artifacts. Documents signed by FDR,
Eisenhower, Truman and Hitler and uniforms and
helmets from German, Japanese, Canadian, British,
and American soldiers are among the items that will
be on display. This exhibit will provide time for
young and old to reflect on the events that changed
the modern world. Along with the exhibit McCord
would like to honor local veterans of WWII and their
families. Almost everyone has heard stories from
parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles about
events in their lives during the war years. Would
you like to share your story or stories of your
loved one’s experiences? Do you have memorabilia
that you would like to have included in the exhibit?
Please contact the McCord office at (708)671-0648.
