Join us at the 390th Memorial Museum for a rare and powerful firsthand account of life during World War II. Aleida Gehrels, who was just 15 when German paratroopers descended on her hometown in The Netherlands, will share her experiences living under Nazi occupation — from foraging for food during the wartime famine to witnessing the deportation of Jewish neighbors, and the courageous efforts by some to hide them. Her story culminates with the liberation of her city by Canadian forces in 1945.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear from a living witness to one of the most pivotal and tragic periods in modern history.
