"The Memory Project is a remarkable collection of oral histories that pays tribute to the men and woman who fought in one of Canada{u2019}s greatest military efforts. Edited by Marc Chalifoux, executive director of The Dominion Institute, The Memory Project is an extension of an on-going educational program that connects veterans with school children across the country. In the powerful words of the veterans{u2019} themselves, the World War II experience is revealed in intimate detail {u2014} from enlistment and active duty to the home front and eventual victory. Accompanying the stories is a wealth of archival material including photographs, documents, medals, letters, and more. In turns moving, horrifying, and heartwarming, The Memory Project is an exceptional piece of history {u2014} a record of the men and women who fought, and sometimes perished, in order to preserve our way of life." -- Publisher's description.
