The legacy of World War II continues to shape our understanding of global conflict, resilience, and the price of freedom. Around the world, this history is kept alive through museum exhibits, oral histories, educational programs, and cultural works that bring the past vividly to life. These efforts transform a global conflict into deeply personal stories, helping us connect with the soldiers and civilians who endured its trials. As the generation of World War II veterans grows smaller, the urgency to preserve their voices has never been greater. Their firsthand accounts offer irreplaceable insights—perspectives that future generations deserve to hear. By teaching World War II history at every educational level, we not only honor those who served, but also equip young people to understand its profound impact—and to carry forward its lessons in the ongoing pursuit of a more just and peaceful world.
