A Personal Look at World War II

We’ve all heard of Pearl Harbor, Normandy, and Adolf Hitler. But have you ever wanted to take a more in-depth look at the event that changed not only the course of world history forever but the lives of normal people? This class will explore how World War II affected everyday people through films like Ken Burns’ The War, shows like The Band of Brothers, novels set during World War II, and diaries and interviews with people who lived through it. Of course, we will study historical events, but we will always look at them through a more personal lens.
