Absentee ballots gave American citizens in uniform a voice in their nation’s government during World War II.

As Americans unite to defeat the Coronavirus, here are five great books that cover how Americans on the home front united to achieve victory in World War II.

From the beginning, this was to be a different kind of war—a war not only of conquest but also of annihilation. 

Voices from the Front is a new interactive experience at The National WWII Museum that helps visitors connect with the WWII generation in a high-tech yet personal way. By using cutting-edge technology to facilitate real-time interactions with more than a dozen veterans, Home Front workers, Holocaust survivors, and other witnesses to the war through interactive video displays, Voices from the Front puts real faces to history. Combining artificial intelligence technology and a repository of prerecorded answers to hundreds of questions, the experience provides visitors with authentic and unaltered answers in each interviewee’s own words and voice.

Veterans, their families and the general public will come together this weekend for a series of events at The National WWII Museum held in honor of Memorial Day.
