Germans and Austrians were living locally at the beginning of World War II. Why were they here? Why did they disappear? Why a local internment camp. All this will be explained by our guest speaker, Carol Cambers, in the latest historical talk at Lutterworth & District Museum.
The talk is on Saturday 25th April at 10.30am. Tickets are just £5 each and are available from the Museum or on the door (subject to availability).
