The Second World War was a global war. But its effects were felt by every Canadian.
From the parachutist penning one last letter before being dropped into danger, to the “munitions girl” who was burned on the job; from the prisoner of war who turned to art to endure the misery, to the Japanese Canadian teenager forced to move 600 kilometres from home — although the Second World War was unprecedented in both scope and scale, it was individuals who experienced it in all its brutality and glory.
