Col. Glenn Frazier will be at Westlake Academy next week to share his experiences as a Japanese prisoner of war during World War II.
Frazier is the author of "Hell's Guest," a memoir detailing his experience in Japan's POW camps from April 1942 to September 1945. Frazier will be available for a book signing following the event, which is open to the public.
Westlake spokeswoman Ginger Awtry said people who attend the free event can learn about history from the "greatest generation."
"Any time that you can have a firsthand story from someone like that will truly bring history alive for audiences of any age, be it an academy student to a grown-up of any age," she said.
