What am I to do to save my children? – Childhood, Youth, and Nuclear War<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us for our 3rd talk in our 2018 Lecture Series, What am I to do to save my children? \u2013 Childhood, Youth, and Nuclear War, presented by Dr. Andrew Burtch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The atomic bomb cast a long shadow over children during the Cold War. At this event, Dr. Andrew Burtch of the Canadian War Museum will discuss what plans were developed to provide for the survival of children at home or at school, the involvement of children in civil defence, and the response of children and adults to nuclear war preparations from the 1950s to the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew Burtch is the Canadian War Museum\u2019s post-1945 Historian. As curator of Gallery 4: A Violent Peace, he is responsible for all questions relating to conflicts from the beginning of the Cold War to the present day. He has worked to develop temporary and permanent exhibitions about the Afghanistan war, the Cyprus peacekeeping mission, the Korean War, military medicine, and war and media. His most recent exhibition is a new module in the Museum\u2019s Experience Gallery: New World Disorder \u2013 tracing Canada\u2019s involvement overseas from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the conclusion of the Afghanistan mission. Dr. Burtch\u2019s book, Give Me Shelter: The Failure of Canada\u2019s Cold War Civil Defence, received the 2012 CP Stacey Award for military history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
