To coincide with the Australian Heritage Festival (18 April-21 May), our Local Studies Librarian will be speaking on the involvement of industries and people of the City of Canada Bay area during the Second World War. The impact of the war on the local community is, in many ways, a reflection of the experience of Australia at that time. 

We welcome everyone in our community to come along to this interesting talk at City of Canada Bay Museum. No bookings are required.

Stephanie Smee is a translator into English of all things literary and French.

She translated the novel No place to lay one’s head by Françoise Frenkel, oringinally published in 1945. The book is based on the extraordinary true story of one woman’s attempt to survive the horrors of Vichy France.

Join us for a captivating evening. Light refreshments will be provided between 6-6.30pm.
