The Education Department at The National WWII Museum is here to help you learn more about WWII and to learn about how WWII has helped shape the world we live in today.

From this page you can explore our WWII Timeline, study the WWII Glossary, check out our recommendations for WWII books and web sites, learn about our annual Essay and Art Contests, practice for our annual High School Quiz Bowl, and have some fun in our Kids Corner [COMING SOON].

National History Day and The National WWII Museum

The National WWII Museum is now the sponsor of National History Day in Louisiana, so if you are a Louisiana student in grades 6-12 and want to participate, check out the National History Day tab to the left for more information.

For students across the country, if you are creating a WWII-themed National History Day project, maybe we can help. 

"We’re All in this Together!"

During WWII, there was a popular phrase people used: "We’re all in this together!"  That’s a great lesson we can learn and live today.  

So don’t forget to check out our Get Involved section.  It has information about volunteering at The National WWII Museum, as well as ideas for getting involved in your community.
