STEP into 1945 through original newspaper reports from the time. This Historic Newspaper Book offers a unique lens on a year marked by key turning points in modern history.
Fascism falls. Mussolini is executed. Hitler takes his own life in Berlin. On May 7, Germany surrenders. VE Day follows, and Truman calls it a “solemn but glorious hour.” Crowds cheer in Times Square. In August, the war shifts east. The atomic bomb falls on Hiroshima. Days later … Nagasaki. Japan surrenders.
Back home, Truman addresses the world at the new United Nations. The Atomic Energy Commission is proposed. In Detroit, autoworkers demand equal pay and job security. Radio relay begins to take over. Meanwhile, on dance floors across the country, the jitterbug craze takes off. Welcome to 1945, a year of war’s end, national mourning, and bold beginnings.
