Donald Weber invites you to join him on a quest through the sand of Normandy, to find the historical truth and epic reality of World War II.
Photographer Donald Weber, writer Larry Frolick and physicist Kevin Robbie inch by inch explored the sand beaches where the D-Day invasion was once fought. Using the latest forensic analysis techniques, they collected forensic evidence of the precise course of the invasion. The results were recently published in the book ‘War Sand’.
At the Humanity House, Donald Weber presents and discusses this work. We'll talk with him and with researcher Zuzanna Dziuban about how violence has shaped the European landscape and our collective memory. With professor Jakob Wallinga we dive into the science behind the memory of sand. How can we use technique to trace back the history of landscap?
