Nahlah Ayed takes viewers back nearly 70 years, and brings Canadians a story of appreciation for Canadians civilians who helped save the lives of residents of the Channel Islands during the Second World War. The Islands were under German occupation when D-Day cut supplies off, leaving residents at risk of starvation. After Christmas 1944, an International Red Cross ship arrived loaded with tens of thousands of Canadian food parcels that saved lives. Ayed speaks to residents who say they owe their lives to the anonymous, Canadian civilians who helped put those parcels together in a time of war.
