From BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY
The Bowling Green State University History Department is honored to welcome Amazon best-selling author Edmund Kruszynski as the featured speaker in its continuing World War II lecture series. The event will take place on Monday, Dec. 8, from 4 – 5:15 p.m., in McLeod Hall, Room 210, and is free and open to the public. Members of the public should register their vehicle for free parking on campus during the event at this website: https://www.offstreet.io/events/JKY9R6BV. Parking is available in Lot 7A-D, off of Thurstin Avenue.
Kruszynski – celebrated for his acclaimed book “The Medic’s Wife” – has recently released a new work titled “Unbreakable.” His writing is noted for its emotional depth, cinematic detail, and ability to illuminate the everyday heroism of the Greatest Generation.
“The Medic’s Wife” follows two individuals whose intertwined destinies reveal both the brutality of global conflict and the transcendent power of love. Readers are transported through time by a narrative built on first-person accounts, real testimonies, interviews, and rare WWII photographs.
During his BGSU lecture, Kruszynski will share the true story of his own parents, whose experiences during WWII inspired his work. His presentation blends archival materials, family history, and visual storytelling, offering an intimate window into a generation whose sacrifices shaped the modern world.
“If your parents or grandparents lived through the WWII era, this is an event you won’t want to miss,” said Kruszynski.
The BGSU History Department is proud to bring this moving and historically rich presentation to the community. Copies of “The Medic’s Wife” and Kruszynski’s new release, “Unbreakable,” will be available for purchase and signing following the talk.
