The hidden victims: civilian casualties of the two world wars
Speaker: Cormac O’Grada (UCD)
Chair: Eric Schneider (ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳)
Date and time: Thursday 20 February, 6.30pm, Sheik Zayed Theatre, Cheng Kin Ku Building
In his latest book, which forms the basis of this event, O’Grada argues that previous estimates of civilian deaths in the two world wars are almost certainly too low. By careful evaluation of the available evidence, he estimates that these wars cost nearly twice as many lives as previously estimated. As he shows, this matters as it enables us to argue with those who try to deny, minimise or exaggerate wartime savagery.
