SUMMARY:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum: Speaker Series: Why? Explaining the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Holocaust Education Resource Council of Tallahassee\, Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is presenting a series of talks on the Holocaust at Camp Gordon Johnston Museum in Carrabelle. These public speaking events will feature Linda Davey\, Holocaust Historian\, and will coincide with the special exhibit on the Holocaust running July 1-August 14. \nThe Holocaust was the Nazi program to eliminate the Jews of Europe during their reign over Germany from 1933 until their defeat by the Allies in 1945. The Nazi party’s “Final Solution” led to the deaths of 12 million people between 1933 and 1945\, including political opponents\, Roma\, homosexuals\, communists\, and six million Jews\, including one million Jewish children. \nHolocaust Education Resource Council (HERC) is a non-profit 501-c3 in Tallahassee that provides instructional guidance\, support\, and resources for educators who teach the history of the Holocaust and their students\, and educational programs for the community at large about Holocaust education and teaching tolerance. \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. Carrabelle Beach was the site of many practice beach assault landings. The amphibious training conducted at this site was planned to be the last step before shipping out to England. The museum was established to honor and preserve the heritage of the men and women who trained at Camp Gordon Johnston during WWII. There is no charge for admission but donations are gladly accepted. For more information\, contact Camp Gordon Johnston Museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

SUMMARY:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum Remember the Battle of Okinawa
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum presents a special exhibit on the most violent and costliest campaign of WWII\, the battle to take Okinawa. The exhibit will include historical photos and Marine Corps artifacts\, some of which were recently acquired. The battle started with the Kerama Islands’ capture by the 77th infantry Division on March 26\, 1945\, and ended 98 days later\, on July 2. This effort involved three marine divisions and four infantry divisions making up the Tenth Army\, which had its tactical air force\, and was supported by naval and amphibious commands. The battle cost more lives on both sides than any other campaign in the Pacific. The taking of Okinawa provided a base from which Operation Downfall\, the Japanese mainland invasion\, was to be launched. Operation Downfall\, of course\, was made unnecessary by the surrender of Japan in September of 1945. \nThere is no charge for admission\, but donations are gladly accepted. \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information\, contact Camp Gordon Johnston Museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

SUMMARY:WWII Red Ball Express Truck
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle\, FL is hosting a rare opportunity to see a famed WWII Red Ball Express Truck up-close and personal as part of the last day of its African-American Servicemen special exhibit. This piece of hard working history will be on display at the museum on Saturday\, February 29\, from 11 am – 4 pm. The museum will also be screening a movie on the Red Ball Express at 1 pm. \nAfter D-Day\, the Allied military forces made a critical push from Normandy across France. Supply lines were soon stretched to their breaking point. Without ammunition\, fuel and food\, the US Army would have soon been at a standstill. A huge trucking effort called the “Red Ball Express” was created and played a key role in the defeat of the Nazis. Nearly 75 percent of all Red Ball Express drivers were African American. \nThis unique event will close out Camp Gordon Johnston Museum’s month-long exhibit honoring the service of African American soldiers during WWII. There is no charge for this event and admission to the museum is free.
