Autobiography of a War
2000
This website tells the history of World War II not through indifferent facts, but through personal stories and accounts from veterans and those living in that time. These stories and accounts are things we need to hear. They may not always be happy, but they teach us about how our freedom was earned. The site branches off from there. We've got a timeline with some stories integrated. There is a hall of fame for veterans to show off medals and honors they've recieved. There are games that are just for fun like "Match the Veteran" or that are for learning and stimulating the desire to research like "Who's That Dictator?" There are links to books and websites that tell the history of WWII through interviews and personal accounts. We've also posted newspapers arcticles that talk about life back during the War. There are many, many things to do on this constantly growing website that you won't be able to even scratch the surface in a day.
