Dr. Kim Holien,  Retired U.S. Army Historian 

Presented by the Alexandria-Caen Sister City Committee, this lecture— “Eisenhower's Top Secrets from D-Day to V-E Day”—offers expert insights into the strategic, historical, and human dimensions of D-Day. Learn about the operations of T Force and how it worked in the shadows under Eisenhower’s personal direction through the end of the war.

Tickets are $15 for general admission and $12 for Historic Alexandria members. Tickets can be purchased at AlexandriaVA.gov/Shop.

This event is part of Alexandria’s annual commemoration of the D-Day anniversary, honoring the bravery and sacrifices of Allied troops on June 6, 1944—the largest invasion in military history and a turning point in World War II.
