💨 Abstract

On May 8, 1945, London celebrated V-E Day, marking the end of World War II in Europe. John Goldsmith, a 14-year-old boy from east London, recalled the joyous party filled with church bells, bonfires, and conga lines. The relief was palpable for a city scarred by bombing raids, with an estimated 30,000 civilians killed.
