The Central Pennsylvania World War II Roundtable will hold its next monthly meeting online via Zoom on Thursday, July 1, at 7 p.m. The Roundtable will welcome filmmaker George Colburn as the speaker.
Colburn has produced and written three national television specials on President Dwight D. Eisenhower and created a five-hour television series titled "The Eisenhower Legacy." His presentation will be a showing of his new documentary, "Ike, 1941-1945: The Making of an American Hero." Colburn premiered the film virtually on Sept. 16, 2020, the night before the dedication of the Eisenhower Memorial. The program examines the decisions that Eisenhower made on the battlefield - and behind the scenes - and why it mattered to the world in the 1950s that he was "the man who beat Hitler."
Colburn is an independent producer of history-based documentaries. A native of Highland Park, Mich., he received his bachelor's degree in history from Aquinas College in 1959 and his master's degree and doctorate in history from Michigan State University. Colburn continues his work on television, media education, and non-broadcast video projects.
The Zoom meeting is open to the public, and no registration is required. To attend, visit http://www.centralpaww2roundtable.org.
