From Dieppe to Juno with Alexander Fitzgerald-Black

Join me as I welcome Alexander Fitzgerald-Black, from the Juno Beach Centre, to discuss the JBC's new temporary exhibition "From Dieppe to Juno: The 80th Anniversary of the Dieppe Raid"

Marie Eve Vaillancourt, Director of Exhibitions for the Juno Beach Centre said "This exhibition will present just how deep the imprint of the Dieppe Raid is in Canadian collective memory of the Second World War. It is an exhibition about trauma but also about healing, and the many ripple effects of the Raid since that day in August 1942. It is an exhibition about why Dieppe will always occupy such a large place in our understanding of Canada's Second World War experience. ”

The exhibition will have many artefacts and personal testimonies from people who participated in or were impacted by the Raid. I have seen some of preparations for the exhibition and it is going to be a good one. Alex will give us a look at parts of the exhibition and information about the inspiration for its creation and the work that went into it.

From Dieppe to Juno opens on March 12 2022.
