Presentation
Sunday 29 June after Meeting for Worship (about 12.30) we shall have a presentation by Michael Luick-Thrams, an American Friend who is Executive Director of a Center for History and Culture in St Paul/Minnesota.
Michael is visiting Belgium and staying with Anita Wuyts, a member of our Meeting for part of the time. This is what Michael says about his Center: 'TRACES work includes 24 exhibits (six of which document how Quakers in the U.S., Britain, Canada, Germany and the Netherlands responded to the crisis caused by Nazism; we do programming related, for example, to the treatment of prisoners of war (POWs), the aid offered refugees, the cases of civilian internment denied due process--and much more.'
