MHHE Dinner, Movie, and a Tour
KSU Center, Room 300
The Museum of History and Holocaust Education is partnering with the Year of UK to offer this special event for the campus community. We will be showing the Christopher Nolan movie, Dunkirk. The film tells the true story of the evacuation of Dunkirk, France by British, Belgian and French soldiers after allied troops were left surrounded by German forces in 1940. It is told from three different perspectives - air, sea, and land. We will also be highlighting our new exhibit, "The Special Relationship: The US and UK during WWII," which was curated this summer by our Special Projects team.
The event is free, and dinner and dessert will be provided. Come early to tour the museum and see our newest exhibit, SAVE ONE LIFE: Reistance During the Holocaust. Check back to register.
