Harry J. Whittinghill survived the hellish Bataan Death March in 1942 and wrote a memoir about it that his children brought to Brookdale Community College History Professor Paul E. Zigo. Zigo, a retired Army officer and founder of Brookdale's Center for World War II Studies, worked with Drew University History Prof. John McLaughlin and Marie D. Somers, director of communications of the New Jersey World War II Book Club, to bring the memoir to print, as When Men Have to Die. Zigo spoke with us about the upcoming 75th anniversary of the death march, and the lessons for a new generation from the experiences of the World War II era.
