Duke Mansion, 400 Hermitage Road, is hosting a free Veterans Day event, Eyewitness to World War II, on Sunday, November 9th, 2014, at 3:00 p.m. Charlotte Observer reporter David Perlmutt is tracking down World War II veterans, most now in their 90s. He’ll bring some to share their stories, such as Henry Hirschmann, a Holocaust survivor who joined the U.S. Army “to get even” and fought through Europe; and Andy Andrews of Black Mountain, part of the third wave at Omaha Beach on D-Day.
It’s free to attend, but reservations are required: e-mail kellis@tlwf.org or call 704-714-4445. Part of the ongoing Explore History! series sponsored by Levine Museum of the New South and The Duke Mansion
