The WWII Sounds & Picture Page

Understanding the history of our nation and world is important. Learning from the mistakes from the past help us from repeating them in the future. But history is dull is all you can do is read about it. Seeing and hearing it help make it a more pleasant learning experience. Today’s FamSite looks at a site that helps bring a “you are there” feeling to one of the major historical events of the past century.

Called The WW II Sounds & Picture Page, this site brings the events of World War II to live in audio and images. You can visit some of the countries involved, such as England, France, Japan, and Germany, and view pictures of how the war impacted those countries. You can also hear propaganda broadcasts, such as Tokyo Rose radio shows, Bing Crosby encouraging us to “buy bonds”, or a contemporary Fibber McGee and Molly radio show. The amount of material contained here is truly impressive, both in the variety and the information contained.

Sites such as this show how the Internet can educate as well as inform. This is a great site to pass along to others, such as students and educators. Enjoy your
