With the hugely successful 1942 Allied campaign against Adolf Hitler’s vaunted Afrika Corps in North Africa\, the number of enemy prisoners of war (POW) needing interment grew dramatically. Great Britain\, no longer able to accommodate the increasing number of POWs\, looked to the United States for help. Helping with the detainment of enemy POWs made sense\, as American cargo vessels were returning home after delivering war materials with empty hulls. \nWhat began as an experiment in isolated locations in the south and southwest eventually led to more than 500 camps and 400\,000 enemy soldiers interned in the United States\, including two camps in the state of Iowa. Due to a severe shortage of agricultural laborers coupled with increased War Food Administration quotas for farm goods\, Iowa’s farmers needed help doing their part to assist the United States in winning the war.

In some instances\, they were small towns built around the time of the height of a coal industry that just could not thrive while others supplemented the needs of the countless farmers\, and still others were established for very different reasons. Many existed for a few years\, some slowly faded away over time\, and a few never existed except as “paper” towns. Regardless of why they originated or why they diminished\, each community has its own unique story. Towns are truly windows to our past and have helped form the history of our state. Discovering and learning about them helps to keep their names and memories from oblivion. Take a tour around Iowa exploring a sampling of these idiosyncratic communities in photographs and stories.  URL:https://humanitiesiowa.org/event/rosa-snyder-off-the-map-7/ LOCATION:Ames Public Library\, 515 Douglas Ave\, Ames\, IA 50010\, USA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230225T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230225T110000 DTSTAMP:20260403T144650 CREATED:20220929T203826Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230224T194710Z UID:3734-1677321000-1677322800@humanitiesiowa.org SUMMARY:Debra Marquart: Poetry\, Music and the Environment DESCRIPTION:Debra Marquart is available to read from her creative work (poetry\, fiction\, memoir) and to perform music alone\, or with her band\, The Bone People.

David Connon will tell a story of racism\, noble actions and conflict.
