Event Details

After the Great Depression and the attack on Pearl Harbor, it was impossible to escape the impact of World War II. Residents of Chicago and the suburbs endured rationing while buying war bonds and planting Victory gardens. They produced much needed war equipment, fed military personnel, and even participated in secret war-related projects. Join Dennis Doyle, professor of history at Joliet Junior College, to learn the efforts of the people of Chicagoland and the impact of the war on them.
