Oxford Historical Society presents Author Melinda Elliott

SPECIAL VISITOR! The Oxford Historical Society

Presents Author Melinda Elliott:

“No Swastikas in Southbury”

Sat. 7/15 at 1pm

The residents of Southbury, Connecticut were surprised to learn that a Pro-Nazi organization was building a Hitler-style youth camp in their midst. The German-American Bund had secretly purchased 178 acres of land just south of the town’s main road. In spite of their differences in background or politics, the townspeople had to make a decision.

The book reveals an overview of the German-American Bund’s threat to America in 1937 and chronicles the day-by-day struggles of a small town working through their own issues in order to stand up against the Nazis.
