World War II artifacts Exhibit
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - The David & Joyce Milne Public Library in Williamstown will host a very unique artifacts exhibit for the month of October by Darrell and Mary English.The display is just a minute taste of the incredible collections of over 10,000 items from World War II and the holocaust. Two items of interest are a table setting of silverware from Eva Braun and the book “The Tool of the Jew” by Rasputin but from the private library of Adolph Hitler. The exhibit has a little bit of all aspects of the war, the European and Pacific theaters and the holocaust.
Darrell is a historian, researcher and collector and said this fascination for WW II history began when he was young and watched TV newsman Mike Wallace and his show “The History of the 20th Century”.
Darrell and his wife Mary are collectors not sellers and find that after many years of research and discovery that “people just find them”. With recent help from the Internet, Darrell is well known for his knowledge and collections of this period of history. It is important to note that in 2021 probably the last surviving veteran will pass, leaving younger generations without the history and stories of this war.
The exhibit will remain, but change in November when the display case will be swapped out with just holocaust relics and artifacts from Darrell and Mary.
