 Broadcasting on KBYU in fall, THE WAR, a new seven-part documentary series directed and produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, explores the history and horror of the Second World War from an American perspective by following the fortunes of so-called ordinary men and women who become caught up in one of the greatest cataclysms in human history.
 Six years in the making, this epic 14-hour film focuses on the stories of citizens from four geographically distributed American towns Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; and the tiny farming town of Luverne, Minnesota. These four communities stand in for and could represent any town in the United States that went through the wars four devastating years. Individuals from each community take the viewer through their own personal and quite often harrowing journeys into war, painting vivid portraits of how the war dramatically altered their lives and those of their neighbors, as well as the country they helped to save for generations to come.
In partnership with The Library of Congress' Veteran's History Project PBS stations are teaming up to collect WWII stories from their local viewers. Share your experience during the war to help document an amazing time in American history.
Read what other PBS viewers have submitted by browsing submissions. Note: Some submissions may contain descriptions of war violence. Discretion is advised.
