Fall 2022 Lecture Series G&DHS
This fall’s program is about the resistance movements in Europe and the Canadian Home Front. These are inspiring stories for the generations who have never had to rise up together to fight a war. (Our COVID experiences gave us an inkling.) Only years later do we learn about what went on behind the scenes, thanks to historians. Our speakers are going to address this civilian engagement angle as well as their research and stories.
