2015 marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. Commemorating this event which impacted world history, the Truman Presidential Library and Museum is featuring a Special Exhibition, "Till We Meet Again" thru the end of 2015.
This Exhibition commemorates the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and Harry Truman’s elevation to the Presidency. Set in the tumultuous year of 1945, the Exhibition uses the history of the war as a backdrop to the momentous events of that year - the violent battles in the Atlantic, Europe, and the Pacific, the Yalta Conference, the death of President Roosevelt and elevation of Harry Truman to the Presidency, the surrender of Germany, the founding of the United Nations, the Potsdam Conference, the use of the atomic bomb, and the surrender of Japan.
Told through iconic artifacts and history-shaping documents, supplemented by memorable video clips, letters, diary entries, and personal mementoes, the exhibition follows a new President wrestling with decisions that will affect the future of the world, while ordinary Americans of the Greatest Generation struggle to survive the war and look ahead to the uncertainty of their new lives in a land forever altered by the world conflict.
