The contributors were children and teenagers during World War II. Though they were far from the fighting, and, indeed, too young to participate, they were old enough to remember their impressions and feelings. As they grew up in a tumultuous era, some seemed miraculously untouched while others were profoundly affected. All experienced changes in their lives that would shape the adults they would become. For anyone who did not experience it, this is a fascinating insight and tangible link to a formative period of history. For those who were young themselves at that time, the collection will stir memories and stories long-forgotten. It is our hope that hose memories will be shared by people of all ages and preserved for generations to come.”
