Tuesday, April 3, 7-8:30 p.m., in Oleson Center Room A/B
David Hill tells of several life lessons gleaned as he recounts Johan’s thrilling hero tale of survival during WWII when he was captured by the Germans while on a secret courier mission with the Norwegian Resistance.
Johan’s intense will to live and to retain his humanity enabled him to endure Nazi captivity for the remainder of the war in the worst of slave labor death camps: Natzweiler, Dachau and Mauthausen.
David met Johan, who became his mentor, while working on Johan’s organic farm in Norway. David has crewed in the Norwegian Merchant marines, managed a dairy her on a bio dynamic farm in Norway, and currently serves as the Executive Director of Concornd Academy in Petoskey, one of only nine Schools of Excellence in Michigan.
The event, sponsored by Michigan Global Awareness Consortium, is free and open to the public. For information, call 995-1155.
