About this Event
Step back in time to the fateful nights of April 8th and 10th, 1941, when Coventry bore witness to two devastating air raids.
🛩️ Despite the hundreds of lives lost during these attacks, the city's memory is often overshadowed by the November blitz that preceded them. But now, it's time to uncover the forgotten stories of resilience, survival, and loss.
Join us on a poignant journey through the events of those harrowing evenings. Led by experienced guides, this talk will share with you the very locations where bombs fell, and destruction reigned.
🚶♂️ Hear firsthand accounts of the people who lived through the chaos, and learn about their triumphs and losses in the face of adversity.
🕯️ You'll gain a deeper understanding of the impact of these air raids on the city and its inhabitants. From tales of bravery to heart-wrenching accounts of tragedy, this talk will shed light on a chapter of history often overlooked.
Don't miss this opportunity to pay tribute to the resilience of Coventry's past. Book your spot now as we remember the events of April 1941 and honour the memories of those who lived through it. 🕊️
