Decades of Memories

Decades of Memories: Re-Discover the 1940s through Your Elders' Memories provides a historical framework through which younger generations can richly converse with elders about the 1940s. Within the focus of a single decade, this book helps scaffold conversations between generations by providing historical summaries, photographs, and relevant questions so that younger generations can access the personal stories of our collective past. Not only can we learn from our elders' memories, but their oral histories provide us with a greater depth and breadth of understanding our personal, local, and national history. This book will truly help younger generations "re-discover" the 1940s through the memories of their elders' rich and diverse experiences.
