This project tells the story of the infamous “Christmas Truce” of 1914 when British, French, and German soldiers fighting in World War I briefly put down their arms and crossed enemy lines to celebrate Christmas together. In particular, the project shows how the Christmas Truce has come to be remembered and depicted in media as an example of transnational solidarity and brotherhood. Drawing on a wide range of sources, such as films, songs, and TV commercials, the project offers an original and striking case study of historical memory and how we come to remember and interpret the past.
