<p>Although few people know the story today, almost half a million Axis POWs
were held in the U.S. during WWII. Three hundred and eighty thousand
of these POWs were Germans, held in 660 camps in almost every state
in the union. They worked side by side with their American "hosts"
and in the process formed relationships, some lasting for decades. These
experiences <span style='font-family:"Times-Roman","serif"'>on all sides embody
ageless and timely themes of war and peace, justice under arms, and issues
regarding human rights, international reconciliation and future conflict
avoidance.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
