What was it like to be a teenager during
World War II? Six individuals tell us firsthand about the stories
of their teenage years and how they struggled to make sense of life
in an "age of infamy." They speak of heroism and fear, loyalty and
lies, freedom and injustice, loving and losing, life and death,
and hope and reconciliation. They raise questions about how war
can be prevented, how peace and tolerance can be promoted, and how
teenagers today can make a difference and improve our world. |
