An educational project at
Lycée L. S. Senghor Évreux High School
A child in wartime near London: the account of
Elizabeth O'Donohoe
​
December 2020
London-Évreux (Normandy)
Elizabeth O'Donohoe was extremely kind to agree to share her childhood memories, those of a time when her parents and brothers and sisters were trying to maintain forms of a normal life for her, as a child.
​
40 students from our school "met" with Elizabeth online.
A dozen had sent questions ahead of the interviews and Mrs O'Donohoe made some research so as to place her account in a broader context. Doing this certainly allowed the students to grasp some of the realities of the time better.
E. O'Donohoe and her sibblings spent a lot of time in the garden
Please watch the recording of this talk here:
We all know now how uneasy it may be to have a discussion online: thank you to Mrs O'Donohoe for her patience and for accepting this ordeal!
It was a fine way to end 2020!
​
Well done to the students who helped build the talk with their questions and for turning up
