This online virtual exhibit lets visitors explore actual places and experience real stories of the time. It takes them to the docks, warehouses, neighbourhoods and factories of the Old Port during the Second World War. It takes them right into the lives of the people living in the area to experience their concerns and realities.

Immersive navigation by street view gives access to places, events and artifacts, and to the testimonials of nine imagined characters whose stories were inspired by true accounts.
