60th Anniversary of Winston Churchill's death

Sixty years ago, on 24 January 1965, Winston Churchill died. He was twice British prime minister, between 1940 and 1945 and between 1951 and 1955.
The "United States of the World" - with the Museum of Peace, where the "Churchill Room", in which the statesman stayed for a long time, is located - remembered him with a series of events and a meeting with students during which films of the British statesman's main speeches were shown.

"I can promise you nothing but blood, toil, tears and sweat", were his words at his inauguration in 1940.
