This exhibit is dedicated to Albert Schwarz who not only made an incredible effort to document his time in the army through pictures but also provided captions. Schwarz's contribution gave a real-life account and context to what it was like to be an American Private in World War II. The scrapbook follows Schwarz extensively from his first station at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas in 1942 to his time in California and eventual furlough in 1943. More on this can be found under the StoryMap page which includes photos of his travels as well as displays the locations featured throughout the scrapbook. There is a small excerpt of three pages in the book from Schwarz's time in Hawaii which would come in 1944. It is important to recognize that this book, and the use of such a source, is not a complete biography of Schwarz's time in the Army. It was difficult to find much information on Schwarz outside of the context of this book, but we encourage those on this site or in future classes at UMW to add any information they come across by visiting the Resource page and sending an email to the project email or reaching out to special collections.
