It's sort of mindblowing that there's adults now that have never talked to someone who was in their 20s during WW2. It makes it something akin to ancient history. Even though I'm "only" 35, WW2 never felt like something that happened a very long time ago, it was something that happened to my grandparents and that influenced the circumstances and upbringing of my parents.
- missedthecue 4y agoMet someone the other day who showed me pictures of their grandparents who were kids in the 1980s.

- refurb 4y agoSomewhat similar to 9/11. For people not yet in their 20’s it must seem like ancient history (like the Vietnam war was for me despite happening not that long before I was born).
