P.O.W. Turned Resistance Fighter to Speak
Letulle, author of the 1998 book Nightmare Memoir: Four Years as a Prisoner of the Nazis (LSU Press) is speaking in conjunction with Southern Institute for Education and Research's annual summer seminar for teachers, which is conducted by Southern Institute education director Plater Robinson. The Institute decided to open this talk to the public after hearing Letulle's story. "Joining the resistance after being held as a prisoner in camp was considered exceptional, because he was subject to immediate execution," says Denise Chetta, associate director of the Southern Institute. "Even that didn't deter this man from fighting the good fight."
