In preparing a paper to give at a meeting of teachers, I am interested in
having memories of schooling during WWII.  What did you study about the war?
 If and how did teachers deal with your feelings and fears about the war?
 Did you take part in programs and drives supporting the war efforts?  How
did you feel about these activities?  Did soldiers visit classes when they
returned home on leave?  What did they tell you?  Diod you live in an area
where there was a potentialor particular threat that most children would not
have encountered? I am particularly interested in how the war impacted
schools in Europe as the research literature does not cover this well.  Mary
