The National World War II Museum will celebrate Armed Forces Day on Saturday, May 15, 2007, with free admission for all veterans. The Museum, in partnership with the Mayor’s Military Advisory Committee, will also host a full day of performances and programs that are open to the public, plus displays and presentations from all service branches.
Volunteers have helped keep things running smoothly at the Museum since it opened in 2000—and a very special group has been here from the very beginning.
The 1944 massacre became the norm for the Third Reich's war in Italy.
In partnership with the New Orleans Opera Association, The National WWII Museum will present three performances of “Brundibár,” a two-act children’s opera written by Jewish Czech composer Hans Krása. Three performances of “Brundibár,” which was originally staged by children at Theresienstadt concentration camp during World War II, will take place in the Museum’s US Freedom Pavilion: The Boeing Center on May 14 and 15. Ela Weissberger, an original cast member and Holocaust survivor, will be the guest of honor.
