"My War"

NORWELD, in cooperation with six of its member libraries, has created a new "web exhibit" about World War II that's been excerpted from over 100 oral history interviews conducted in the region over the past year. "My War: Northwest Ohioans Remember World War II" brings local perspective to a subject that is being brought to renewed national prominence by a Ken Burns documentary, "The War."

The web exhibit covers subjects ranging from military training and combat to communications and censorship, life in the military, and the impact of the war on the home front. The clips are searchable by library where the interviews were shot as well as by subject.

The streaming video interviews can be found at www.norweld.lib.oh.us/
ohnarratives/mywar/ and are best viewed over a high speed Internet connection.
