The Christmas Truce of 1914: The Miracle of the Great War, Dec. 11 Library Lecture
posted on 12/3/2024
One hundred and ten years ago during the week surrounding Christmas in 1914, an unofficial cease-fire occurred on the Western Front during World War I. The sounds of rifles firing and shells exploding faded and soldiers on both sides emerged from the trenches and shared gestures on goodwill.
Learn more about this short-lived truce during a in-person lecture at the Dover Public Library on Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 6:30 p.m. A virtual component is also available.
Anthony Guerriero will share the tale that shows how the magic of Christmas can transcend even the chaos of war. Guerriero is an accomplished professional in the fields of government and community relations, as well as an educator and professional speaker. He is an impassioned storyteller who examines the human experience and American history with a sense of wit and kindheartedness.
