HYLANDER HISTORY
Join us on Thursday August 10, 2017 at 10:30 AM in the Community Room for Dr. Gary Hylander, PhD- VJ Day. Dr. Gary Hylander, PhD will once again entertain and enlighten us with American history. Though the Allies celebrated the end of World War II in Europe in May of 1945 (Victory in Europe, or V-E Day), reactions were tempered by awareness of the ongoing conflict in the Pacific.
After Japanese leaders dismissed Truman’s demand to accept unconditional surrender or to face “prompt and utter destruction” from the air, Truman ordered that atomic bombs be dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6th and August 9th, 1945.?? Saying that the time had come to “bear the unbearable”, Emperor Hirohito surrendered thus ending the most destructive war in human history. Although the United States officially commemorated this victory on September 2, by August 15 celebrations were taking place all over the United States. Dr. Hylander takes us back to the days leading up to and following the official end of WWII.
Dr. Gary Hylander, PhD is a scholar and professor who has taught at Stonehill College and Framingham State University and lectured for many cultural and educational forums including the Norton Institute for Continuing Education (NICE).
Program and refreshments sponsored by the Friends of the Norton Public Library.
