Veteran’s Oral History Project
Interviewing Jewish veterans—and their descendants—is an invaluable way of exploring how the experiences and remembrances of military service contribute to the formation of American-Jewish identity, and the profound social and political impact of war on the lives of veterans and their descendants.
Download the Activity Guide and Resources below to learn how to lead students in a 2-unit oral history activity to help preserve and reflect on the memories of the more than half a million Jewish veterans who fought in World War II and the early Cold War.
