Greatest Generation Celebration

Historian, journalist, and author Garrett Graff joins the Hauenstein Center as part of the Greatest Generation Celebration to discuss two major oral histories about the major turning points of World War II: the D-Day invasion of Europe as well as the Manhattan Project and the atomic bombings of Japan. He will explore the legacy of the Greatest Generation, how World War II changed the world, and the first-person realities of fighting in the greatest conflict humanity has ever known. Join us to learn the previously untold stories of leadership and determination at all levels of the American war effort in World War II, from the Oval Office to the front lines.
