“A Soldier's Eye: Europe 1944 — Photographs by Irving Shapiro” runs though
Dec. 19 in the Mandeville Gallery.
In 1944 Irving Shapiro of Glens Falls was a soldier
in the midst of the Second World War. But he was also a man with a camera, and
the photographs he took during the first months after the Normandy invasion are
a remarkable record of the people and places he encountered in that period of
turmoil and upheaval.
Also on exhibit are artifacts and
images of Union College's experience with on-campus Navy
officer training during the later years of WWII, known as the V-12 Program,
featuring research by Jeff Roffman '05.
