Wartime Memories


Welcome to the program!

It takes a long time for the wounds of war to heal. Ask any member of the Greatest Generation and their families whose lives were forever changed by their experiences during World War II. This year, Silicon Valley Reads will suggest two books for the Community Reads Program that present two perspectives on the effects of war on California families.
