1. Interview of Rosalie Crosbie on her service with the American Red Cross in post-war Europe

Description:
Rosalie Crosbie talks about joining the American Red Cross in 1945 and serving in post-war Europe. She discusses her duties on trains crossing Europe with children and war brides, assisting people reconnecting with family, the condition of European cities, the lack of food for civilians, the pervasiveness of the black market, running recreation clubs for U.S. servicemen, and entertaining U.S. troops in the fall of 1945 as they clamored to be back shipped home. Crosbie says that she met both General Eisenhower and the Duke of Windsor, attended the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials, and was later faced with the task of adjusting to civilian life back in the States and the death of her mother. Crosbie is interviewed by Elsie Hornbacher.
