Mandeville show looks at World War II

"A Soldier's Eye: Europe 1944 -- Photographs by Irving Shapiro" runs though Dec. 19 in the Mandeville Gallery.

In 1944 Irving Shapiro of Glens Falls was a soldier in the midst of the Second World War. But he was also a man with a camera, and the photographs he took during the first months after the Normandy invasion are a remarkable record of the people and places he encountered in that period of turmoil and upheaval.

Also on exhibit are artifacts and images of Union College's experience with on-campus Navy officer training during the later years of WWII, known as the V-12 Program, featuring research by Jeff Roffman '05.

During the exhibition, an evening film series on World War II in Europe, organized in conjunction with the History Department, will be held on alternate Thursdays in Old Chapel.

Remaining films are:

-- Nov. 4, 6 p.m. – Stalingrad [Dogs, Do You Want to Live Forever?] (1958), with Prof. Wilfried Wilms; and

-- Nov. 11, 6 p.m. – Sahara (1943), with Prof. John Cramsie.
