As we mark D-Day, we're mindful that we're living As we mark D-Day, we're mindful that we're living through something historians call the "post-witness era" — a time when the people who experienced the Second World War first-hand are becoming fewer with each passing year. That makes memoirs and carefully researched historical fiction more than just stories. They become a way of carrying memory forward: preserving individual lives, ordinary courage, impossible choices, and the human realities behind the history. These are some of the WWII stories we're reflecting on today, 6th June. I'll Take That One by Kitty Baxter. Kitty still gives talks at the Imperial War Museum in London. Her memoir recounting her experiences as an evacuee is compelling reading. The Lavender Keeper by@fionamcintoshbooks We Were the Lucky Ones and One Good Thing by @georgiahunter. The Silent Resistance by Anna Normann @natalienormann . Wings Over Valletta by @@tracycookwriter.
