Camp Douglas POWS - Lake Michigan and Dissections

Hi Doris -

an unfortunate possibility: a sizeable number of deceased POWs in Camp Douglas were apparently dumped into Lake Michigan. Also at least some were sold to anatomy instructors/surgeons for dissection cadavers [shudder..].

good luck in your search,

y.v.o.s.,

Kenneth Byrd
