But like they did in Bath, they will come out of this in Connecticut. “One person did a lot of damage to a lot of lives. “It’s like it happened yesterday,” Bernstein said. Local author Arnie Bernstein recently published an updated version of the book, and he will give a presentation at Bookie’s New and Used Books on May 14. The author said he has maintained contact with people in Bath, and he said that even generations later, the trauma is not forgotten. Arnie Bernstein Bath Massacre tells the story of a tragedy that occurred in a small town in Michigan nearly a century ago. In 1927 Andrew Kehoe rigged the school with over 600 pounds of dynamite. “It’s eerie to me how close it is,” Bernstein said. The Bath School bombing in 1927 remains the deadliest school massacre in U.S. May 18th, 2016, marks the 89th commemoration of the Bath, Michigan School Massacre. Both Kehoe and alleged Newtown shooter Adam Lanza had ties to the school, and both apparently killed people close to them before the school attack. The shrapnel-filled car bomb killed the school superintendent and others.īernstein said he sees parallels between the Connecticut killings and the Bath massacre generations ago. As people ran up to his car, he detonated explosives inside it, making it a 1920s version of a suicide car bomb. While firefighters were there, an explosion rocked the school.
Historical sources say that on that Wednesday morning, Kehoe beat his wife to death and set his farm on fire.
