VE Day

It is Mothers’ day (which I forgot about, as usual) but it is also the 60th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day. And, being in Europe, where the past is constantly evoked in public discourse, even among my fellow PhDs and other younger people, has been…different, shall we say. Usually, I wouldn’t even know that it was VE day. This year, it is difficult to avoid since history, for some reason, however you define it, is a constant topic in conversations here.
