TEMPORARY EXHIBIT ALL VISITS
LIFE FOR NORMANS AND CANADIANS FROM OCCUPATION TO LIBERATION
VISIT OF JUNO PARKAND BUNKERS
VISITS 3 & 5
A guided visit with a bilingual Canadian guide. Discover the story of the D-Day landings as you walk
on the beach along the remains of the Atlantic Wall.
The visit includes the bunkers in front of the Juno
Beach Centre and the tunnels leading to a German
command post on site in 1944.
This exhibit, conceived and created by the Juno Beach Centre
especially for the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings,
tells the story of Norman and Canadian civilians (specifi cally children)
from 1940 to 1944.
The exhibit answers the questions:
“What would my everyday life
have been like if I was a kid living
in Normandy in 1944, like my great
grandparents?”; “Who did the
Canadians liberate when they
landed in Normandy?”; “Who were
the occupiers?”. Children will
be enlightened as to what their
great-grandparents would have
endured during the war, as well
as the meaning of “Liberation”.
5 stations immerse the visitor in a classroom, a family kitchen, the staircase
of a home and the ruins of a city.
The themes discussed in each station are a glimpse at the major worries
of this diffi cult time period. For Normans: going without, forced labour,
working in Germany, fear, the black market, curfews…
For Canadians: worrying, listening to the radio, reading the newspaper
propaganda, rationing, recycling, being separated from family members,
waiting…
Every element is adapted for young visitors. The subjects are simplifi ed
to preserve the vantage point of a child on events they had no control over,
but that they were required to constantly adapt to. More developed content
enables adults to explain the stations to children as needed.
An educational presentation in the temporary exhibit with a Juno Beach Centre guide is available for school groups aged 7 to 11.
