Bonus: Life In Occupied Sark - “They put the bayonet through my toy panda”
Description
**This is a bonus episode. If you've not tuned in before, I recommend you start at Episode 1**
⚡ Maisie Le Page was just a young girl when the Germans arrived on her small home island of Sark. Little did she know that her father, the island’s baker, would also come to be part of, and sent to prison for his involvement in a covert news operation.
💡 In this special bonus episode of the podcast Maisie explores her earliest memories of the occupation in Sark, the fear she felt when her toy panda bear was pierced by a bayonet, and some of the more lighthearted moments. She also shares some of the mementos she’s kept as a reminder of what happened.
🔎 I met Maisie while producing The Dementia Perspective for the Guernsey Alzheimer’s Association. It’s well worth a listen - click here to listen.
