Description

In 1942, young Navy nurse Dorothy Still was taken prisoner by the Japanese along with several of her fellow nurses. For the next three years, Dorothy and her colleagues endured deteriorating living conditions. In spite of the difficulties of POW life, Dorothy Still continued to valiantly provide medical care as a prisoner in the Japanese concentration camp.

Join historian Dr. Emilie Lucchesi for this special presentation recounting Dorothy Still's POW experience.
