Event Details

Join us for a book talk and signing with local author Matthew Rozell as he launches D-Day and Beyond- The War in France, which is Volume 5 in the best selling 'The Things Our Fathers Saw' oral history series. 
Refreshments will be served!

This book brings you more of the previously untold firsthand accounts of combat and brotherhood, of captivity and redemption, and the aftermath of a war that left no American community unscathed. From the bloody beach at Omaha through the hedgerow country of Normandy and beyond, American veterans of World War II—Army engineers and infantrymen, Coast Guardsmen and Navy sailors, paratroopers and glider pilots, military policemen and tank crewmen—sit down with you across the kitchen table and talk about what they saw and experienced, tales they may have never told anyone before.

Matthew Rozell is an award-winning history teacher, author, blogger and speaker. He has been featured as the ABC World News 'Person of the Week' and has had his work filmed for CBS News, NBC Learn, the Israeli Broadcast Authority, the New York State United Teachers, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Most recently, he is the recipient of the New York State Education Department's Yavner Teaching Award for Distinguished Contributions to Teaching the Holocaust and Human Rights.
