Re: REF: Safe Haven author

["Jennifer M. Lyons" <jlyons@OSWEGO.EDU>]

The book is called Haven and it is by Ruth Gruber. It documemts the
experiences of 1000 refugees who came to America at the end of World War
Two. They came here to Oswego and  lived here for over a year- in a
barbed wire fenced compound. A museum is being built about this event and
the 50th anniversary ceremony was held in 1995. Ruth Gruber came and
signed copies of her book.
