November 11, 2026 @ 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm
This Veterans Day take a special look at WWII through the lens of photographer Lawrence Levy. A curated collection of images by Lawrence’s daughter, Janice Levy, from the larger body of work featured in her book “Over the Hump” My Father’s WWII Photographs, will be presented at the museum.
Janice Levy’s friend and Vietnam Veteran John L. Wilkinson, Brigadier General USAF (ret.) said this of the collection: “Lawrence Levy’s photographs, set in the China-Burma-India theatre of war, provide insight into a soldier’s world away from the front lines. That they reflect Levy’s highly developed artistic eye makes them an even more amazing achievement. Quiet moments in camps; men and supplies heading to battle; allied and former enemy troops; temples; shops, civilians…everything that goes into a soldier’s – every soldier’s experience of war is here. It is important to see and reflect on them.”
