Harry Truman figure

Description:	Sometimes life-like figures, like this one, make it easier to imagine people we have not met or people who died before we were even born. This one, Harry S. Truman, became the 33rd president of the United States in 1945 following the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. As President, Truman made a weighty decision to drop two atomic bombs on Japan to end World War II on the eastern front. A Japanese surrender quickly followed. In the United States, Truman created a number of “Fair Deal” policies aimed to help the country recover from the war.
