The VE Day
Did you know that the Victory in Europe Day is the day celebrating the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Germany’s unconditional surrender of its armed forces on Tuesday, 8 May 1945, marking the end of World War II in Europe. Several countries observe public holidays on the day each year, also called Victory Over Fascism Day, Liberation Day or Victory Day. In the UK it is often abbreviated to VE Day, or V-E Day in the US, a term which existed as early as September 1944,[1] in anticipation of victory.
As we have been working on cinema during this unit, I would like that you watched a short movie on the BBC that shows this historical moment. Then, read about it.
Then, in class we will create a timeline about this historical moment in history.
