World War II conference rescheduled for November

[Jim O]

The National World War II Museum will present a historic International Conference on World War II Nov. 16-19.

The conference will be one of the largest gatherings of historians, journalists, Medal of Honor recipients and World War II veterans ever assembled since the end of the war more than 60 years ago. It was originally scheduled for October 2005 but was postponed due to Hurricane Katrina.

The conference will look back on how the war was fought, the way it was won and what it means today. Speakers include former war correspondent and CBS newsman Walter Cronkite; former Sen. George McGovern, a World War II bomber pilot; war correspondents Andy Rooney and Richard C. Hottelet; James Bradley, author of “Flags of Our Fathers;” filmmaker Ken Burns, who will preview his new World War II documentary; and former secretary of state Madeleine Albright, who will discuss the liberation of eastern Europe and the development of the Cold War and the collapse of communism subsequent to World War II.
