Description: 

The SeniorNet World War II Living Memorial is an initiative of SeniorNet and Ameritech to provide individuals who lived through the World War II era with an opportunity to share a legacy with younger generations by posting their memories online. About 1,000 WWII veterans pass away every day, so efforts like the Living Memorial provide students and others with a resource to learn first-hand details about the War and its effects on individuals.

SeniorNet invites everyone who lived through the World War II era to share their memories and reflections with their peers and with younger generations in the online World War II Living Memorial. Participants can post messages in the discussions of dozens of topics related to the War, from "The Home Front" and "Women in the War" to the "Holocaust" and various "Theaters of War." There are also online discussions about Tom Brokaw's "The Greatest Generation," a book which profiles older Americans who lived through the war years. Everyone is welcome to participate in this important tribute to a people and an era.
