Jours de guerre / Kriegszustand (State of war): Douai and Recklinghausen
Programme of national events marking the centenary of the First World War
Exhibition
As early as 1914 the Great War disrupted the daily lives of the inhabitants of Douai. The town was occupied by the Germans and requisitioning and destruction was rife. In the same period the German town of Recklinghausen was subject to restrictions and censorship, its inhabitants were going hungry. The archives presented in this exhibition show what life was like for the inhabitants of two towns which are today twinned.
