History Project - VE Day
Block 5
On Friday 8 May, we pay tribute to the service and sacrifice of the entire Second World War generation, from British, Commonwealth and Allied Forces to evacuees and those who served on the home front. As we face some of the most challenging times since the end of the Second World War, now more than ever it is important to unite in recognition of service to the nation, just as communities did 75 years ago.
There are many parallels between the struggles of the Second World War and what we are going through today. We look to our Second World War generation to learn from their experiences, and we continue our work to protect them from the threat we currently face.
Please find a list of resources below you can view, download and print to help you with this week's themed project. The two links below are to websites that provide a wealth of resources and video clips that give you lots of information around this WWII based topic.
