AUBURN — In collaboration with Senior College, the Auburn Public Library will present “Living in London during WWII” on Tuesday, June 4.

Rose Goodwin will be at the library at 2 p.m. to share how the war affected her and her family as they coped with evacuations, low rationing and no work during that period.

Goodwin will share the day-to-day struggles to live and work in London between September 1939 and April 1946 plus share her story of coming to the U.S. as a war bride.

Time Life magazine, describing the war in London, wrote that “the air raids by German Luftwaffe planes on English cities and towns in 1940 and 1941 — attacks known collectively and famously as the Blitz — were terrifying, but they failed in their key aims: namely, to demoralize the British people and to destroy the UK’s war economy.

“London, not surprisingly, suffered the brunt of the Blitz: More than a million London houses were ruined or badly damaged, and more than 20,000 civilians were killed in the city alone. (Roughly 40,000 civilians were killed in the whole of England.)”

This program is free and will take place in the Androscoggin Community Room.
