Reflections of a World War II POW

Reflections of a World War II POW:

Bernard Rader

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2 P.M.

Come get a glimpse of Bernie's experience as a POW in World War II. On October 1933, as a 19-year-old, Pfc. Bernard Rader was part of a 55-man patrol deployed into Lorrient, Brittany. They were ambushed by the Germans, and after a six-hour battle with machine guns, grenades, and mortars they were forced to surrender.

Register online, by phone, or in person at the ASK Desk.
