Laura Noller will be our speaker and her talk is :-

" Identity under Occupation; Civilians & Soldiers in Nazi-Occupied Channel Islands  1940-1945 "

During the Second World war , the Channel Islands were the only pieces of British territory to fall under German occupation. In this talk Laura Noller of Lancaster University will explore the realities of life for people on the Islands during the Nazi Occupation and what it looked like for individuals to engage in collaboration, resistance, and more often something in between.

Laura will discuss the experiences of four people on the Islands, two Islanders and two Germans, and the diffecult moral choices that people had to make in wartime.
