World War II and the Holocaust

Eyewitness to the Nuremburg Trials:

By Larry Tillemans

Sunday, February 26th 2-4 P M

Larry Tillemans has a unique perspective on World War II.  As a servicemen sixty five years ago, he served as a typewriter clerk for the  U.S. Army at the war crime trials in Dachau and Nuremberg.  Larry gained a perspective of the War that most of us can not imagine.  Known as the “Trials of the Century”, Tillemans was an eyewitness to these proceedings and the horrors of War that were revealed. Museum Meeting Room

Now in his late 80’s, Mr. Tillemans is determined to never let people forget the Holocaust and how, because of hate, over 10 million people lost their lives.  Currently, Larry is the last living typist who worked at the trials and he is using his voice to educate people about the War and the consequences of hatred.  We hope you will join us for this 30-45 minute presentation.  The Museum will be open for tours before and after the program, with coffee and refreshments to be served during the event.

    I’m trying to get in touch with Mr. Tillemans. Does someone know how I can contact him, phone or address or email? My grandfather who also was at the Nuremberg trials would like to meet him and talk to him. Thank you!
