Remembrance 2010

At this time of the year, we always like to take the time to thank those who decide to dedicate their lives to others, and we have some special thoughts for them and their families.
On our display table, you will find some informative documents sent to us by Veterans Affairs about the involvement of our troops in the different wars. An interesting collection of "Amazing Stories" books is waiting too. You will learn more about the Canadian Army either on a battlefield or as spies. Some videos provided with the documentation will be shown on TV to help you better understand what they went through.

Also, some of you might have notice that we have a new display shelf in the entrance that will be used to promote different book collections and special items. As we are preparing for Remembrance Day, we have selected two sets of books that should interest you: the Stackpole Military History Series and the Holocaust Biographies Series.

This first Series features different battles that took place during World War II and they are very helpful to students researching specific information on those.
We have started to buy some of them to complement what you can already find on our shelves and we will continue to add to this collection of high quality.

As for the Holocaust biographies, they are jewels amongst our collection of war books. They are contemporary, well presented and you have the cruellest of men under Hitler's sharing the shelf with the most heroic, everyday people like the Scholl siblings or Oskar Schindler. Not all German were monsters in those days...
