The Channel Islands under the swastika: occupation and memory 1940-1945 with Dr Gilly Carr
10 weekly meetings commencing Tuesday 10 April 2010 at 10.30am. Please contact Wendy Hill (see below) as this date may be changed.
Providing an alternative to the official story of the Occupation, this course will examine a defining moment in the islands' history through its wartime artefacts and monuments in the landscape.
Course fees £75. Because of changes in goverment funding concessions are no longer applicable.
All courses all take place in the Museum so relevant items in the collections can be accessed.
The 10 week course usually includes a field trip in shared cars and may be extended to allow for a half term break if a concessus is in favour of a break.
The courses are very interesting and not demanding but students are expected to produce some work during the courses.
Note that a minimum number is needed for a course to proceed so please contact the Museum or local organiser Wendy Hill (01354 660393) to find out more information.
