’75 Years Later: The Sounds of Freedom’

Saturday, May 8 | 4:30pm

Victory in Europe Day, or VE Day, marks the end of the Second World War, and is celebrated each year on May 8th. To commemorate this momentous occasion, we invite you to watch the one-hour documentary called “75 Years Later: The Sounds of Freedom”, which celebrates the anniversary of the Canadian Liberation of the Netherlands.

Interwoven with musical performances from world-class ensembles, including the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, the Dutch Symphony Orchestra and the Seaforth Highlanders, WWII veterans and Dutch survivors share their stories and memories.

Viewers are transported through time as a young girl discovers a crate full of war artifacts that belonged to her great-grandfather, including hand-written letters to her great-grandmother. His voice from the past recalls important events that led to the Liberation of the Netherlands back in 1945.
