The HSF held their annual holiday meeting online due to the unfortunate COVID situation we are all living through.
The historical subject of the program was a presentation by Philadelphia author Allen Hornblum on his most recent book about the story of Holmesburg Prison inmates who were baked alive in their punishment cells in 1938. A bit heavy for the Christmas season but very interesting.
