In the week surrounding Christmas in 1914, an unofficial cease fire occurred on the Western Front during WWI. The sounds of rifles firing and shells exploding faded and soldiers on both sides emerged from the trenches and shared gestures on goodwill. Professor Anthony Guerriero will share the tale that shows how the magic of Christmas can transcend even the chaos of war.
