PERRYSBURG — “Searching for Augusta: The Forgotten Angel of Bastogne” tells the inspiring story of
Augusta Chiwy, a black Belgian nurse whose volunteer service in a U.S. Army medical aid station during
World War II’s Battle of the Bulge exemplifies the best of the human spirit in the worst of times.
The true story begins with two nurses, Renee LeMaire and Augusta Chiwy. LeMaire was killed on Christmas
Eve and became famous as ‘The Angel of Bastogne.’ Meanwhile, Chiwy’s story was lost to history for 65
years.
WGTE will bring this documentary to Way Public Library for a free screening on Wednesday at 2 p.m. Find
out how Chiwy’s story was rediscovered and why her courage and heroism should never be forgotten.
Admission is open to the public (adults only) without registration.
