It is one of America's most enduring mysteries; what happened to three inmates who, sixty years ago this June, escaped from Alcatraz prison in a raft they constructed inside the prison? In his talk, David Kruh will talk about the exciting true story of the planning and execution of the escape, which was also the inspiration for his novel, Inseparable, published by DXVaros in June, on the sixtieth anniversary of the escape.

Registration is not required to attend this event, however it will let us be able to inform you if the program is rescheduled or canceled.
