On this summertime edition of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present a panel discussion marking the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II - VJ Day, August 14, 1945 - on the actual 60th anniversary in 2005. Participants included several local residents who were in the military, working in defense plants or otherwise supporting the Allied war effort as young adults in 1945. The panel was part of a series curated and moderated by CASCADE OF HISTORY producer/host Feliks Banel when he was deputy director of Seattle's Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), and was recorded before a live audience at the old MOHAI in Montlake.

This episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally broadcast at 8pm Pacific Time on Sunday, July 28, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
