Meet the Collection: A Salute to Major General Maurice Rose

Discover the remarkable story of Major General Maurice Rose in this special Meet the Collection program with Guest Paul Shamon of the Rose Monument Foundation. Raised in Denver as the son of a rabbi, Rose climbed the ranks to command the famed 3rd Armored Division during World War II. His extraordinary service—and his tragic death in 1945 as the highest-ranking American officer killed by enemy fire—left a lasting legacy in U.S. military history. Shamon will bring Rose’s journey to life through a look at rare artifacts and never-before-seen photographs from the General Maurice Rose collection.
