Events › "Crossing Borders/Expanding Boundaries - A White Soldier's Experience of the WWII Segregated Army" with Author Dan Hurley

This year marks 80 years since the end of World War II in 1945. Local historian Dan Hurley discusses his newest book which draws from the diaries and 720 wartime letters of his father who served in Europe during the war. Hurley discusses how Irwin, a young man from Northern Kentucky, was challenged by the war to broaden his views, especially as a white officer with a Quartermaster Trucking Company of 130 black enlisted men, led by a Jewish Captain, who ended their service as liberators of the Dachau Concentration Camp.
