Lecture "Stories and History: My family and World War II"
September 29th, 2020 (Tuesday) - 21h00
By Prof. Igor Khmelinskii
Via zoom colibri at https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/99620415083
World War II was a global military conflict that lasted from 01/09/1939 to 02/09/1945, involving most of the world's nations, including all major powers, organized into two opposing military alliances. In the last few years, we have given several lectures around the Second World War, namely addressing its political, economic, military context, the facts and events, and the construction of the peace that followed and that we manage until today. This time Prof. Igor Khmelinskii brings us stories of real people, close family members who experienced this conflict in the first person.
