Time Travel: VE Day!
“Germany Surrenders”
“It’s All Over”
“It’s V-E Day!”
“VICTORY”
The headlines and crowds shouted the good news. The war in Europe was finally over! This week marks the 70th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
Only in my imagination can I guess what that felt like the world over–the joy that came at a staggering price. At least we have pictures, recordings, and some precious folks who lived through it to tell us. Here are a few of those reminders.
