The Heinz History Center’s We Can Do It! WWII traveling exhibit is in its fourth weekend at Donora Public Library with two speaking events on the schedule for today.

Leslie Przybylek is the senior curator who pared down the exhibit from the Heinz History Center’s 10,000-square-foot display to the 500-square-foot traveling version.

In a video about the exhibit on the History Center’s website, Przybylek said asking her to pick a favorite artifact in the display is like asking to pick a favorite child.

She is going to talk today at 12:30 p.m. about what it was like behind the scenes putting this exhibition together. 

At 2 p.m. Przybylek will talk about “The Steel City in WWII.”
