On the 75th anniversary of VE-Day, a historian reflects on the destiny averted and greater historical meaning of the Allies’ victory over Nazi Germany.

How the sheer raw power of the Allies overwhelmed the Germans.

Join us for a webinar discussion with Daniel Lee, a historian of the Second World War and a specialist in the history of Jews in France and North Africa during the Holocaust, and a lecturer in modern history at Queen Mary, University of London.

Following victory, the Allies turned to the legal system to hold Axis leaders accountable. In an unprecedented series of trials, a new meaning of justice emerged in response to war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by both the Germans and the Japanese throughout the war.

Dr. Rob Citino highlights the moments of celebration, as well as realization of the repercussions that followed Allied victory and the end of World War II.
