War Stories

World War II ended almost 70 years ago, and the stories are growing more and more distant for many of us. How are you connected to it? What can you learn? Please spend time interviewing family members (parents, grandparents, great-aunts and great-uncles, etc) about their experiences during the war. Take notes, ask them to tell you their stories -- where were they? who did they live with? what was life like on a day to day basis? did anyone fight? did anyone experience discrimination? how? Ask them to elaborate and give specific detail. Even if you think you already know the stories, ASK!
