New Orleans' National World War II Museum announced June 6 the planned opening date (Nov. 3) of its seventh and final permanent exhibition - a $47M Liberation Pavilion that will deal with the end of the war, the Holocaust and the post-war years.

The Nov. 3 celebration, which is to include the official opening of the Col.
