The Occupation Tapestry Homepage

Introduction

The highly-acclaimed Occupation Tapestry was made by the people of Jersey to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation and is possibly the greatest community project undertaken in Jersey.

Housed in a converted nineteenth century quayside warehouse, the Tapestry consists of twelve panels and tells the story of the occupation of the island during World War II by the Germans. (The Channel Islands were the only part of the British Isles which were occupied during the war). There are audio guides available as well as an audio-visual presentation.
