NEW Marcel's Letters
During the depths of World War II,
Frenchman Marcel Heuzé mailed
letters to his wife and three young
daughters from a labor camp in
Berlin. His beautiful looping cursive
carried tender words of love along
with testimony about his fight for
survival. Sixty years later, graphic
designer Carolyn Porter found
his letters at an antique store in
Stillwater, Minnesota and began
to transform Marcel’s handwriting
into a modern computer font. She
became obsessed with finding
answers to the questions: Who
was Marcel? Why had he been in
Germany? Why were his precious
letters for sale halfway around the
world? And most importantly: did
Marcel survive? Join Carolyn in
this presentation and discussion
of Service du Travail Obligatoire,
the forced labor program that sent
more than 650,000 ordinary civilians
to Germany to work in road and
bridge construction, and in factories,
farms and mines. Following the
presentation, Carolyn will be signing
copies of her book which is available
for optional purchase. Carolyn Porter
