Jana Jessee Becker:  Zoom Webinar about the POW Camp (Prisoner of War Camp) which was built on the Desert Gold Turkey Farm near Liberty, MO during WWII to house captured Italian and German POWs.  She will tell about the family who owned the farm and how they were convinced by the U.S. government to allow the camp to be built there.  The Italian prisoners built the camp, and the 600 German prisoners were from Rommel’s elite Afrika Corps.  There were also other POW camps in Missouri.

Clay County prefers that you pre-register for their webinars so that they don’t exceed 100 participants.
