One In Five |
| 1 in 5 people alive today lived through the Second World War. Although the war ended over 60 years ago, it lives on in people’s memories and family histories, in the UK’s rebuilt city centres and ‘new towns’, and in our education, social and health services. Through a mixture of personal stories, reminiscences and previously unseen archive images, objects and film footage, this award-winning online exhibition explores how the war changed the people and the landscape of the UK forever. |
