Learn how World War II affected the lives of millions of people around the world by using this collection, which features a wide variety of artifacts from the International Museum of World War II. These resources help you examine how propaganda shaped people’s attitudes and actions in combatant nations, as well as how young people and women were affected by and contributed to the war. The resources also provide tips on how to teach international perspectives on the war using everyday objects, government publications, movies, military equipment, and other primary sources from the period.
