The program will examine the origins of the Berlin crisis, the logistical challenges of supplying West Berlin by air after the 1948 Soviet blockade, and the broader significance of the airlift in early Cold War history.
The association says admission is free, though donations are encouraged and seating is limited so advance registration is recommended through the museum’s website.
