June 6 marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the largest multinational invasion during World War II to defeat Nazi Germany. America's most prominent partner in this secret undertaking was Winston Churchill, the wartime Prime Minister of Great Britain.
In 1932, eight years before he emerged on the world stage, Winston Churchill delivered an historic lecture on "The World Crisis" at the newly opened Westchester County Center in White Plains during a two-month U.S. lecture tour.
On Monday evening, June 3, at 7:30 pm in the Gathering Room, author/historian Anthony Czarnecki returns to Kendal to reveal the fascinating story behind Churchill's appearance in Westchester County, what he said to an audience of 1,500 people, and how his remarks came to reshape postwar Europe.
Mr. Czarnecki is a long-time member of the International Churchill Society and serves on the Board of Trustees of the Westchester County Historical Society.
