Virtual Program: World War II: Remembering the War by Those Who Fought

An Institute for Learning in Retirement (ILR 55+) virtual program. World War II remains the most total and destructive conflict in human history. It involved the major industrial countries and left an indelible mark on global memory. This class will analyze the cause, course, and aftermath of World War II. In addition to discussing the course of the war in both Europe and the Pacific, the class will consider topics such as roles of women and minority groups as well as the motivations and experiences on the battlefield. All these remembrances will be introduced by the men and women who served. This course is offered for free through the ILR Program and is made possible by the Shirley Cruickshank Wolfe Fund.
