Join historian Jeremy A. Stern, Ph.D., for a gripping online talk about Operation Bernhard, the Nazi scheme to counterfeit British bank notes during World War II using Jewish prisoners at Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
Forced to operate a makeshift forgery factory for the SS, the captive prisoners faced an impossible dilemma: produce convincing counterfeits and risk death upon completion, or stall and risk the Nazis abandoning and eliminating the operation entirely. Their astonishingly close copies of British currency, with only subtle errors, kept them alive for a time. But their ultimate fate hung on the decisions of the SS commander as the German war effort crumbled.
The talk is presented by Jeremy A. Stern, Ph.D., an independent historian, writer, and history educator who has long been drawn to this story&nbsp; and who owns an original forged Bernhard note, a rare physical artifact from the Nazi camps.
Date: Sunday, November 8, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PT / 1:00 – 2:00 PM CT / 2:00 – 3:00 PM ET
Location: Online via Zoom

Ramona Town Hall Inc

While today may be pumpkin spice and everything nice, the elves at The Barn Redefined, previously known as Poway Countryside Barn, are getting ready for the holiday season with their popular Christmas at the Barn shopping event. For the second year, the annual event will be a “pop-up” in Ramona, kicking off Nov. 4 through Dec. 13.
The holiday shopping event returns for six weekends – at the same temporary location, Ramona Town Hall. This year’s theme is GIFTmas, focusing on the season of giving.
The Christmas-themed festival offers a wonderful place for holiday decorating ideas. One of the most anticipated features of the event is their themed Christmas trees, including those themes as Candy Land, All White Winter, Christmas at The Lodge, and Chrismukkah, to name a few. 
Additionally, there will be many holiday photo opportunities, throughout the venue and beyond. They will also be hosting a Christmas Market every weekend in November – Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sunday 11:00am to 3:00pm – inside the Town Hall, where there will be crafts, gifts, food and music. 
This year, they will be fundraising for the Ramona Town Hall “Light the Sky,” as the historical building needs upgraded electrical and lighting. Christmas at the Barn will raffle baskets of holiday themed goodies provided by The Barn Redefined and donated by other local businesses.

Adding to the festivities, gift wrapping supplies will be available for purchase. 
The month-long shopping experience begins with a sneak-speak Customer Day, Monday, Nov. 2 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and opens to the public Wednesday, Nov. 4 and runs through Dec. 13; Wednesdays through Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sundays 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (closed on Nov. 26-27 for Thanksgiving).
