AUSTIN DAYS: Talk on the life of Private Charles Shay by Marie-Pascale Legrand
|
|
À l’occasion des 80 ans de la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la bibliothèque anglophone propose un temps d’échange dédié à la mémoire d’un témoin direct de la guerre et de la Libération : Charles Shay, vétéran ayant participé notamment au débarquement en Normandie (le « D-Day ») en juin 1944. L’intervenante, Marie-Pascale Legrand, soignante et autrice, accompagne Charles dans les dernières années de sa vie et lui a consacré une biographie touchante. Elle vient évoquer l’engagement de Charles, malheureusement trop âgé pour le partager lui-même. Une rencontre qui rend hommage au rôle majeur des Etats-Unis dans la Libération et aux liens d’amitié durables qui unissent les peuples américain et français, à la lumière d’Austin et Angers. |
