80 Years On
Let’s not forget that 80 years ago this week, May 8th 1945, marks the end of World War Two in Europe. The cost in lives and cultures is still unimaginable and must never be forgotten.
Except in American high schools. I was amused to read in my friend Issy van Randwyck’s terrific Substack (Sweet Home Chicago, do subscribe) that her daughter, brought up in England, now living in Chicago, returned home from school to share what she had been taught about World War Two by her American teacher, “Pearl Harbor, the Bomb, and we [America] won”.
Here’s a little explanatory video which might help.
