Lucy Layton

Lucy Layton, a curator from Jersey Heritage, and native islander Lola Garvin share gripping insights about Jersey's unique experience as the only British territory occupied by the Nazis. They discuss the transformation of the island into a fortress under German control, the impact on local families, and the harrowing stories of internment. Lola's personal account of her family's deportation illuminates the resilience of the Jersey people amid suffering. The conversation captures both the dark history and enduring spirit of the community on the anniversary of their liberation.
