Never to be ForgottenGerman Occupation historian, Joe Miere, has dedicated the last sixty years to ensuring that his fellow Islanders who lived in the darkest period of Jersey's history were not forgotten. All has been done with no thought of personal reward or glory. This book is an accurate reflection of that time. Joe has never shrunk from telling the truth, however unpalatable. As the Bailiff said recently, "It is the work of people like Joe which will inform and be the basis of historical accuracy. He is modest, almost self-effacing, about his achievements". By the choice of a popular vote, Joe was honoured by his fellow Islanders to be the Jersey Heritage Trust's Portrait of the Jersey Citizen of 2003. His book was launched with a number of book signings in July 2004. It broke all our records and sold all 2000 copies within two weeks. |
