New York City During WWII

Weds. Sept 17, 1:00-2:15pm 

with Marty Schneit

New York and its environs played a pivotal role during the World War II years. Marty will talk about and show images of landmarks that played a role during that time. Many survive to this day, such as the Brooklyn Navy Yard and the German headquarters of the Manhattan Project in the Battery. And, of course, Times Square. We’ll see a selection of videos and photos. A born-and-bred New Yorker, Marty has had a lifelong love for knowledge of the city and its rich background. An amateur historian, he has lectured at a number of organizations, including the New York Public Library, National Council of Jewish Women, JCC, The 92nd Street Y, The Health Outreach Program of New York Presbyterian Hospital, and Hebrew Home for the Aged at Riverdale.
