Virtual Program: The Christmas Truce of 1914: The Miracle of the Great War

Professor Anthony Guerriero will share the tale on Tuesday, December 20 at 7PM via Zoom that shows how the magic of Christmas can transcend even the chaos of war. In the week surrounding Christmas in 1914, an unofficial cease fire occurred on the Western Front during WWI. The sounds of rifles firing and shells exploding faded and soldiers on both sides emerged from the trenches and shared gestures on goodwill.
