Description: The Second World War was the most devastating war in history. Up to eighty million people died, and the map of the world was redrawn. More than seventy years after peace was declared, children interviewed family and community members to learn about the war from people who were there, to record their memories before they were lost forever.

The story collection project was conducted by Walker Books in collaboration with First News, an award-winning weekly newspaper for children in the UK.
