QUOTES & SPEECHES
The family of Sir
Winston Churchill has put one of his most
famous speeches online in a project to bring new
technology to history lessons. A new website combines
the full audio recording of Sir Winston's "Sinews of
Peace" speech of 1946--also known as the "Iron Curtain"
speech because Churchill used the phrase to describe the
barrier enclosing the Soviet sphere of Europe--with his
annotated transcript, background information and
interpretation, maps and photographs. It breaks the
45-minute speech into themes and interprets them against
both events of the time and their relevance today.

The Churchill Museum and
Cabinet War Rooms in London is the world's
leading museum dedicated to the great man.
It welcomes all visitors interested in

surroundings in which Churchill conducted
the war. Visitors are able to walk the
corridors of the secret underground
headquarters of the British government where
Churchill himself walked, and view the rooms
that formed the nerve centre of the British
fight against Nazism. Visitors are now also
able to visit the new award-winning
Churchill Museum, which explores Churchill's
life and achievements. Opened in 2005, the
£6m attraction has won awards for its
original artefects, technological
sophistication and intelligent
interpretation. |
