Welcome
On 9 May 2025, it will be 80 years since Jersey was liberated from German occupation. The Channel Islands were the only part of the British Isles to be occupied during the war, and their conquest was viewed by the occupying forces as a stepping-stone to the full invasion of Britain. This year’s anniversary – Liberation 80 – is especially important as it provides an opportunity to share the stories of those who lived through The Occupation.
Liberation 80 will provide islanders with the chance to participate in a varied programme of events and projects that span art, culture, sport and education.
