Exhibition- 80 years since the victory in Europe
On May 8, countries around the world mark Victory in Europe Day—the date on which Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Keitel signed Germany’s unconditional surrender to the Allied forces. Although fighting in Europe persisted until May 24, and the war in Asia and the Pacific didn’t officially end until September 2, the date became etched in collective memory as the end of the Second World War on European soil at the conclusion of five and a half bloody years, and the defeat of the Nazi regime, twelve years after it came to power.
