However, what is taught about WWII varies greatly among classes. In the U. S. we fought longer in the Pacific than in Europe. However, more time is spent on Europe than on the war in the Pacific. Concerning the Pacific War most learn of Pearl Harbor and the dripping to the atom bomb. A relative large amount of time is spent on the Holocaust, even in the elementary schools.
Social history is almost nil so also are oral histories done in the local community.
Therefore, this web site is very important by providing a source of information and viewpoints that most people will not encounter. Some older people will not tell their stories so I am thankful to those who do so here. No, but some school teachers and other types of teachers are trying very hard to improve on the content being presented while facing a real scarcity of time. I hope you are among that group, if you are a student please start asking older people to tell you their experiences. History that is not recorded didn't happen.
