WWII leadership lessons from the Museum’s Institute for the Study of War and Democracy.

A newly released memo sheds light on Japanese Emperor Hirohito's role in the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Bravery—even unto death—was evident everywhere as Imperial Japan’s air and sea forces struck the US naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, The National WWII Museum will explore the history and locations of this fateful day throughout an exclusive symposium and educational travel program in Hawaii. Taking place December 1-8, 2016, the program will feature esteemed WWII historians including Rob Citino, PhD, Richard Frank, Donald L. Miller, PhD, Allan Millett, PhD and Jonathan Parshall, along with an exclusive four-part symposium discussing the events leading up to the attack.
 

Though a fictional character, American Girl Nanea Mitchell’s Story of Hawaii after Pearl Harbor resonates with children today.
