Join Maya Hirschman, PhD Candidate at the University of Toronto, as she introduces us to the importance of radar to the success of D-Day and its role in the Liberation of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Her talk uses objects, images, and oral histories from the Secrets of Radar Museum to illustrate how June 6, 1944, momentous as it was, was only the first day in a months-long, exhausting, at times heart-breaking, operation that required hundreds of radar personnel to make it succeed. Maya will highlight the experiences of Canadian and British radar personnel and display a selection of rarely exhibited artifacts from the collection.
