ONLINE via Zoom: Long Island and WWII: The Home Front

From the ashes of failed Nazi Spy rings, to the greatest industrial boom, Long Island was transformed from a collective group of rural communities to modern day suburbia. During the war, Long Island would hold the record of producing the most fighter planes for combat operations and be a home to five World War II Medal of Honor recipients. While providing a scenic backdrop for the first United Nations, Long Island will become the global stage for the events that started the Cold War. In this program, author Christopher Verga will revisit this history in an interactive lecture utilizing historic photos and documents from Long Islands’ bygone era and discuss his upcoming book, “Long Island and WWII: The Home Front”. This program will be live via Zoom. Email s.dichiara@sayvillelibrary.org to register. You will receive the link the day before the meeting.
