Gemma Birnbaum presents "World War II Yearbooks"

Join Digital Education Coordinator Gemma Birnbaum to explore high school during the war years. Between 1941 and 1945, WWII touched and shaped every aspect of American life. As students dealt with typical high school experiences like prom and varsity sports, they were forced to confront the realities of the war. Millions of teenagers coming of age during the war years documented their school days in much the same way students still do today: in annuals and in yearbooks. Today, these yearbooks offer a perspective on a world in upheaval that is both rich and uniquely personal. Hear more about the young men and women whose lives were forever changed by WWII.
