On Wednesday, November 8, at 7 p.m, Springfield resident Peter Kessel, a self-described “hobby historian,” will present his unique connection to the all-black membership of the 761st Tank Battalion that fought in four major Allied campaigns during WWII, including the Battle of the Bulge. He will share how the battalion helped liberate a concentration camp in Austria and will share a little-known fact about famed baseball player Jackie Robinson’s connection to the group. The presentation will take place at the Millburn Free Public Library, located at 200 Glen Avenue in Millburn, New Jersey.
