SUMMARY:Conversation and Book Signing: Veterans Museum
DESCRIPTION:JOIN US SATURDAY APRIL 26\, 2025 AT 2 PM FOR A FREE COMMUNITY EVENT \nFrom Robert M. Edsel—#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Monuments Men COMES HIS NEW BOOK \nREMEMBER US: American Sacrifice\, Dutch Freedom\, and a Forever Promise Forged in World War II\nRemember Us features a native son of Laurel\, Mississippi -- John L. Low\, Jr. -- as one of its major characters. \nABOUT THE BOOK\nWhat happens when you lose your freedom and the people who eventually get it back for you are no longer alive to thank? \nRemember Us\, by Robert Edsel—#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Monuments Men—begins in the pre-dawn hours of Hitler’s invasion of Western Europe on May 10\, 1940\, when his forces rolled into the small rural province of Limburg in the Netherlands shattering more than 100 years of peace. Their freedom gone\, the Dutch lived through four-and-a-half years of occupation until American forces reached Limburg in September 1944\, the last portion of Western Europe liberated by the Allies before their advance on Nazi Germany slammed to a halt. \nLike The Monuments Men\, Remember Us is an ensemble piece that follows twelve main characters over a six-year span\, zeroing in on ordinary people including Frieda van Schäik\, a teenager who falls in love with an American soldier; Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole\, the first member of the 101st Airborne to receive the Medal of Honor; and Sergeant Jeff Wiggins of the 960th Quartermaster Service Company\, who escaped the poverty and racism of Alabama for yet another indignity—digging graves. \n​Drawing on never-before-seen letters\, diaries\, and other historical records\, Edsel shows the painful price of freedom\, on the battlefields and inside American homes. In this rich\, dramatic\, and suspenseful story\, he captures both the horrors of war and the transcendent power of gratitude\, showing the extraordinary measures the Dutch have taken to thank their liberators. Remember Us is exactly the book we need—a reminder that grief is universal\, that humanity knows no national or racial boundaries\, and that we all want to be remembered\, somehow\, someway\, by somebody.
