Art Kaftan WWII Photographs
De Pere resident Art Kaftan brought a camera and a gifted eye to Europe in the latter part of WWII and the early part of the aftermath.

Kaftan's photographs give a unique, personal view of European life around the end of the war. Many of these pictures were shown in a 2004 exhibit of Kaftan's work at the Neville Public Museum in Green Bay.

Most of the captions are courtesy of the Neville Public Museum Museum, with additional information provided by the Wisconsin Historical Society.

Thanks to the Kaftan family and the Neville Museum for help with the photos.
