Vincenzo spied the sign from which I created my Fading Ad logo years back. I had climbed to the roof of the adjacent building and got really good close-ups. Guess I have to search my Ektachrome archives again to offer you a glimpse.

CBC: Liberation of Concentration Camps- April 23, 1945

Canadian Broadcasting Company: CBC- On This Day May 7th, 1945
Canada celebrates victory in Europe

Broadcast Date: May 7, 1945
Victory flags are flying high, church bells are ringing, and people are celebrating in the streets. It’s May 7, 1945, and the Allies have secured victory in Europe — 2,076 days after the start of the Second World War. Following a long series of hard-fought battles against Nazi aggression, the Allies get the news that German troops have finally conceded unconditional surrender. But for many this victory is somewhat bittersweet.

June 25, 2008 will mark 61 years since the publishing of Anne Frank’s Het Achterhuis.
