Organized by Ancestry – the global leader in family history – History Revealed was a freely accessible event to commemorate Remembrance Day, Nov. 11.

It involved AR technology that helps one experience the lives of the courageous people who were part of the war.

Remembering Molly Lamb Bobak, the first female wartime artist, the event showcases some of her best illustrations capturing the life of women during the war. Through her work she highlighted the role of women during the war where women were working in tech, giving out food, working in hospitals and much more.

The stories of women have been wiped out from the history of the Second World War, but Bobak who was a part of the Canadian Women’s Army Corps at 25 has left behind illustrations have vividly highlighted them.

Each of the 15 pictures presented on the walls at the event tell untold stories, buried in the history which we failed to dig.

“I really feel like Molly Lamb Bobak’s legacy is a lesser-known story in history. And she should be taught in every textbook and history book out there. And it’s a tragedy that most people don’t automatically know who she is,” said Allison Lau, general manager of Ancestry.

The event is helping to remember the lives of those forgotten and trying to keep their legacy alive.

“A lot of our mission is based in empowering journeys of meaningful discovery and so much of that is achieved through exploring your family histories. So, learning who you are, what your identity is, leaving a legacy behind for future generations, feeling connected to your community, and the world at large, and having a sense of belonging,” she continued.

The event is also helping people explore their roots and connections with the war-time stories as they believe that untold stories are still stories worth reciting.

History Revealed is not just an event, it is something that connects you to your past.

You can book a one-on-one session with a genealogist, creating your family tree, learning more about your ancestors through almost 3-million records being uploaded on the site everyday commemorating World War II stories and people who lived through it.

“I’ve always been very interested in this period. I think it’s just Molly’s work as a military artist, and how she did not have digital cameras and things that we have today. She had to witness things and then go back and paint these things and that’s how you and I get to hear about history right is through her visions. So, I find that very fascinating,” said Anne Marie, an attendee at the event.
