Edward Haider, a parishioner at St. Rose of Lima in Roseville, Minn., is one of many Minnesotans from World War II whose story is included in a new multimedia exhibit at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul called “Minnesota’s Greatest Generation: The Depression, The War, The Boom.”
In a simulated aircraft, museum visitors can get a sense of Haider’s experience as a paratrooper in a C-47 aircraft during the 1943 U.S. invasion of Sicily. Read more here in The Catholic Spirit, archdiocesan newspaper of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
