"Our Great War"
Residents' Association's Published Book,
Now in Its 2nd Printing
OUR GREAT WAR is a compilation of stories from Wake Robin residents, sharing their experiences from the World War II era. It is a snapshot from the lives of 65 contributing authors who describe life at that time from the vantage points of military service, medical care, the home front, life in Europe, and overseas duty after the war.
One Wake Robin resident escaped 1930s Germany as a young Jewish refugee, then went on to become Dean of Students at Mount Holyoke College. Another was an Army doctor so shaken by what he saw when liberating a concentration camp that he spent forty years making house calls, day and night, for patients in rural Vermont. A third arrived with the first ships into atom-bombed Nagasaki — then grew so intrigued by Japanese culture that he spent his career as an Asian Studies professor.
This book is a gift from "the greatest generation" to their children, grandchildren, and all future generations. Many of these memories have not been previously told, even to their families. The book is available for purchase using the enclosed mail order form.
Listen to The Vermont Edition on Vermont Public Radio. This interview was recorded on December 8, 2008 featuring some of the authors of Our Great War.
