The following video clips are short examples
of the personal recounts of WWII you can read in whole in the complete transcripts on
this site. These clips can be used as trigger videos in the classroom
to start or discussion, or as the basis for a creative writing assignment.
This sampling of information has been taken from the more then 300 hours
of interview materials as a part of Washington State’s WWII Voices
in the classroom oral history project.
