"POW museum boasts new exhibit on food

ANDERSONVILE -- Andersonville National Historic Site, home of the National Prisoner of War Museum, announces the opening of a new temporary exhibit at the POW Museum in conjunction with National POW Recognition Day.

This recently opened exhibit features documents and items that demonstrate the role of food in the POW experience. The exhibit shows the commonality of the POW experience related to food over time.

A POW during the Civil War dealt with the same types of food problems that POWs in World War I and II, Korea and Vietnam had. Many of us take food for granted on a daily basis. This has never been the case for POWs.

For them there are always concerns: Will there be food? Will it be enough? Will it be something I've ever seen before? Will I have something with which to prepare and eat the food I manage to get? The items currently on exhibit explore these matters.
