WWII Summer Teacher Institute Team Europe: Day Three Dispatch

As Dunkirk arrives in theaters, The Wall Street Journal surveys the cinematic history of the war.
"Prior to touring the Museum vault with the curatorial staff, our class was introduced to another perspective of teaching World War II—using statistics to help strengthen or challenge an argument."
"Out of all the experiences we had Monday, one of the favorite lessons among the teachers was the classroom lesson from the curriculum guide using 'What would you do?' scenarios."
"The lasting lesson from this experience is that men and women throughout our history have sacrificed their lives to protect this nation and protect our freedoms and, for that, we have an obligation as educators to teach about, remember, and honor their sacrifice."

The story of how Bob Hope gave levity and laughter to troops during one of the most brutal conflicts in human history is a crucial component of the history of the war—and a demonstration of how humanity can shine through in the darkest of times. The National WWII Museum is proud to have this program supported by the Bob & Dolores Hope Foundation.
