SUMMARY:Camp Forrest\, TN - POW Exhibit: Friend\, Enemy or Frenemy?
DESCRIPTION:A World War II exhibit titled: Camp Forrest\, TN - POW Exhibit: Friend\, Enemy or Frenemy? is on display now at the Metro Nashville Public Library in the Archives Department on the second floor.\n\n \n\nThe exhibit runs from Monday\, September 19 until Saturday\, December 31\, 2022.\n\nAdmission is free.\n\n \n\nDr. Elizabeth Taylor\, an expert on Camp Forrest and founder of the Camp Forrest Foundation\, https://www.campforrestfoundation.org/\, curated the exhibit.\n\n \n\nCamp Forrest was the result of major efforts by the War Department to prepare our nation for possible entry into WWII which had been going on for years.\n\n \n\nCamp Forrest was originally named Camp Peay\, after Tennessee Governor Austin Peay. Camp Peay was a National Guard Camp built in the 1920s on 1\,100 acres. Later\, it was renamed Camp Forrest and the facility grew to more than 80\,000 acres.\n\n \n\nCamp Forrest was one of the US Army's largest training\, induction and prisoner of war camps and served as the base for the Tennessee Maneuvers.\n\n \n\nThe maneuvers were seven large-scale simulated combat training exercises conducted by the US Army between 1941 and 1944 to prepare troops for World War II. They took in 21 Middle Tennessee counties.\n\n\n\n\n\n"This exhibit is made up of three components: informational posters that explain how and why German prisoners of war were brought here from the battlefields and why German and Italian civilians living in the United States were held at Camp Forrest. \n\n \n\nSecondly\, photographs that go along with those posters. \n\n \n\nAnd the third component is the artwork and hand-crafted items made by the prisoners and civilian internees\, which gives us a glimpse into their lives here." Taylor explained.\n\n \n\nDr. Taylor introduces the exhibit with a three-minute video explaining why and how Camp Forrest came into existence.\n\n \n\nThe Metro Nashville Public Library is open Monday-Friday from 9am to 6pm\, Saturday 9am to 5pm and Sunday 2-5pm.\n\n \n\nPlease contact Sarah Arntz\, CA if you'd like to know more about this exhibit.\n\nSarah.arntz@nashville.gov and if you have questions or comments about Camp Forrest email Dr. Taylor info@campforrest.com
