Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs Kim Guise of The National WWII Museum in New Orleans shows us a closer look at a unique travelog of one man’s experience as a WWII POW. 1st Lt. Gilbert Blackwell used a crutch as a diary, chronicling his journey home after his selection to be repatriated on his crutch. This is one of the artifacts you can find in the Museum’s final permanent exhibit hall, the Liberation Pavilion.
Liberation Pavilion explores the end of World War II, the Holocaust, the postwar years, and how the war continues to impact our lives today.
