"Surrender? “Nuts!” - U.S. General Anthony McAuliffe, 101st Airborne Division Commander, in response to the German surrender order during the battle.

Join us at Holmdel Library with Shaun Illingworth, Director of the Rutgers Oral History Archives at Rutgers-New Brunswick, to help mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, this key moment in World War II.  His talk will focus on the experiences of local veterans from Monmouth County and feature their voices from their oral histories.
