Last Voices of the Second World War

Beschreibung

Experience the unforgettable stories and powerful first-person testimonies of the Last Voices of the Second World War. To mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the conflict, this poignant commemorative publication gives voice to some of Canada's last surviving veterans of the war, as well as family members of those who served. Their words, drawn from oral history interviews, are presented alongside photos, personal mementoes, and works of art that help to illustrate the complex experience of veteranhood. This book explores the veterans? journey to rebuild their lives and make meaning of their experience. It also sheds new light on the challenges, rewards and legacy of military service, which shaped the lives of these individuals ? and the generations that followed ? in profound and unexpected ways.
