Virtual – “Little Mister Victory” with Author and Historian David Kruh
Join us for a talk with one of our favorite speakers, David Kruh, on his new book “Little Mister Victory: A Daughter’s Search for the Woman Who Abandoned Her Father on VJ Day, co-written by Tina Drzal. Little Mister Victory is the story of Tina’s decades-long search for the woman who abandoned her father on VJ Day. Using cutting-edge DNA analysis and good-old-fashioned detective work (burrowing into newspaper archives, ecclesiastic and government documents) David and Tina found the mother, along with a surprise; abandoning her newborn baby was not the most shocking act of her life.

Little Mister Victory is David’s sixth published book.
