WORLD War II and Ireland History Talks and Exhibitions is a new and exciting interactive History resource available to Historical Societies throughout Ireland north and south. We travel to your chosen venue where, in the course of our presentation, we focus on World War II from just prior to the conflict right through to the aftermath of the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan. Significantly, our presentation focuses on the military impact on the island north and south as well as that on everyday life during the period of the WWII years, referred to south of the border as ‘The Emergency’.
We also examine aspects of the many Southern and Northern Irish born people, who were either directly or indirectly involved. We also look at the many everyday inventions we use today which arose directly out of necessity during World War II – some of which might just surprise you.
Uniquely, the presentation and exhibition are enhanced throughout by the display and circulation amongst your members of a wide range of authentic museum quality period artefacts including uniforms, battlefield artifacts, period publications as well as viewing actual Allied and German WW2 weapons (Fully deactivated and safe) – touching history in every sense of the word and providing your members with amazing and unique historical primary sources. Detailed information is provided throughout and a question and answer session takes place at the end of the presentation.
