Join us for a captivating installment of our Culture and Conversation series as we welcome Barry Kemballcook, one of our very own students at the Alliance Française de Dallas. Barry will take us on a personal journey through his lifelong passion for World War II history—from collecting rare artifacts to participating in immersive re-enactment tours across Europe. In this engaging presentation, Barry will discuss how he began collecting WWII memorabilia, including uniforms, medals, documents, and more, and how these pieces became part of his collection. He’ll also share his experiences as a WWII re-enactor since 2000, with special attention to his involvement in the “2nd Armored in Europe” group, which organizes historically accurate re-enactment tours in France and beyond. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious about this unique perspective on cultural memory and preservation, this event promises a fascinating look into one man’s dedication to honoring the past. On Thursday, June 12th, 2025 at 6.00pm at the Alliance Française de Dallas Register here: https://www.afdallas.org/event-detail/?eventId=1467#/ #afdallas #alliancefrancaise #wwii #conference (fb)
