At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
This day is celebrated enthusiastically across the United States, parts of Germany, and around the world. This event has been celebrated by an increasing number of people every year to honor the day when World War II ended.
This day is celebrated by the people of the United States, Germany, and around the world.
The earliest celebrations can be traced back to April 25, 2015.
The day was declared to be observed jointly by the US and Russian Presidents on the 65th anniversary of the end of the war.
The incessant carnage of World War II, which was continued by axis powers headed by Nazi forces, left everyone in despair until the commanders of Soviet and American troops were ordered to take a cooperative step and put an end to the war. As was decided, the Soviet and the US forces met each other at River Elbe and became allies. US Lieutenant William Robertson was seen sharing a warm hug with Leuitenant Alexender Silvashko of the Red Army in a historic picture.
People observe this day by attending events held in Torgau, Germany, on April 25th. They also share information about the day on social media.
You can celebrate this day by knowing more about World War II. Go to a World War II History Museum with your friends, students, and family. Post awareness pictures on social media using #NationalEastMeetsWestDay and #ElbeDay.
East Meets West Day marks the end of World War II and is, therefore, an essential chapter in history.
To end World War II, which had been continuing for more than six years, the commanders of the Soviet Army and US front directed them to contact each other. They did so on April 25th in Torgau on River Elbe.
East Meets West Day marks the end of World War II that had been going on for over six years incessantly and meeting of the two armies in Torgau at River Elbe on April 25.
