Visit with peace activists Fred Snyder and Siegfried Bartel

Two Second World War veterans who later became peace activists, Siegfried Bartel and Fred Snyder, met for the first time in November 1993.

The two met at dinner at John and Carrie Harder' home after Bartel spoke for a week at Rockway Mennonite Collegiate, sharing his faith journey to Christian pacifism. Left to right: Addae Morgan (who was living with the Harders), Fred Snyder, Siegfried Bartel, Lorraine Snyder (Fred's wife), John Harder.
