The project isn't specifically about the Jewish holocaust.
Maybe you should consider writing to 'Reach and Teach' about
that (Ed Behrendt runs it - he is (or was) mtcy26a@prodigy.com)
We are interested in responding to questions about the effects
of WW2 on civilians of ALL countries - for example, the way in
which German, French, Italian, Polish, American, Latvian, Japanese
and British civilians carried out their lives during these very
difficult years.

Agreed. But perhaps you have some questions to put to us? I
hope so - but you must be prepared to listen to stories that
are different from your usual TV programmes!
