World War Two Battlefield Exhibit
WWII is one of the bloodiest events in human history. Commemorating, studying
and learning from monumental periods like this are an enormous challenge, but of
such critical importance. This is our task.
We continue to build on our WWII Exhibit that attempts to capture the
realities that people faced in the early 20th Century. We are providing a
background for our students that will be visiting the Battlefields of France,
Belgium and the Netherlands in November 2008.
The major components of the Exhibit are listed in the Tabs above. We are
creating Museum panels, a model of Normandy, and developing various multimedia
to memorialize the people and events of WWII.
Model
The model recreates the D-Day invasion on the coast of France. The model
visually shows visitors to our exhibit the unbelievable challenges that
faced the allied soldiers as they reached the beaches of Normandy.
