Dear Friends of ROHA:
We would like to invite you to this year’s Rutgers Living History Society Ambrose Award Ceremony and Annual Meeting. The Friday, May 2, 2025 event will be held at the Rutgers Student Center on College Avenue. The event will start at 9:00 am with breakfast and the formal program commences at 10:00 am.
To register, please go to the following website: https://go.rutgers.edu/2025rlhs
This year’s Ambrose Award winner is Daniel J. Brown, author of many publications where oral history has been integral to his research and storytelling. His most recent book is Facing the Mountain: An Inspiring Story of Japanese American Patriots in World War II. Daniel Brown tells the story of four Japanese American soldiers and their families whose sacrifices and contributions helped the US prevail in World War II. (He will appear via video.)
The RLHS will also be honoring Dr. Kurt Piehler, the first Director of the Rutgers Oral History Archives, currently the Director of the Center for the Study of World War II at Florida State University. He will receive the Rutgers Oral History Archives Legacy Award. Dr. Piehler is a prolific scholar, and his most recent publication is A Religious History of the American GI in World War II, which relies heavily on oral history interviews along with many other first-hand sources to tell its story.
Both of these books will be available for purchase at the event, courtesy of the Rutgers Barnes and Noble Bookstore on College Avenue.
