We don't know our hearts until life puts us to the test, and WWII fascinates because it was the last time everyone was simultaneously pushed to their limit.

WWII was, without exaggeration, the biggest event in all of human history, and it is still within living memory.

My whole life is my work.

I think all of us are intrigued to imagine what we as individuals would become, if we were ever tested as hard as that golden generation was.

Everyone carries the weight of WWII with them in their recent family history, and yet it is rarely spoken about within families, because veterans and survivors don't tend to talk.

I think bravery means a different thing to everyone.

We leave it up to books and movies to talk about WWII on our behalf.
