Since 1992, Bill has interviewed hundreds of former CCC enrollees and used their stories in his PBS Documentary CAMP FORGOTTEN, his historical novel BIG SHOULDERS and his CD of songs, DOLLAR-A-DAY BOYS.

Bill’s programs have been described as a cross between a book talk and a music concert. He combines story telling, original songs, and video clips to create programs that are as entertaining as they are informative, as honest as they are fun!

In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin
by Erik Larson

The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America’s first ambassador to Hitler’s Germany in a year that proved to be a turning point in history.

Suffused with the tense atmosphere of the period, and with unforgettable portraits of the bizarre Göring and the expectedly charming--yet wholly sinister--Goebbels, In the Garden of Beasts lends a stunning, eyewitness perspective on events as they unfold in real time, revealing an era of surprising nuance and complexity. The result is a dazzling, addictively readable work that speaks volumes about why the world did not recognize the grave threat posed by Hitler until Berlin, and Europe, were awash in blood and terror.

The Kaukauna Public Library Daytime Book Group meets on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 10 AM. New Members are always welcome!
