1) How does your community (school, town, country) select to remember World War II? Examples: holidays, memorials, songs, movies, books… August 15th is the day WWII was ended so every year in august we see the TV programs or movies about war.

2) Do you know of anyone who was involved in some aspect of the World War II? If so, what is their connection? If possible, can you send a picture?

3) Is there anything else you would like to add? World War II was over when, Japanese surrendered on August 15, 1945 and was started by German Polish invasion on September 1, 1939. Main battlefields were Europe and Asia. There was various damage in Japan.

In Okinawa, there was the girl student who nursed soldiers hurt in World War II, She was called "Himeyuri". She hid in the trench and nursed the sick people and she was said to take the drinking water to all and made meals. "The tower of Himeyuri" became a grave of the girl students who nursed soldiers, and were sacrificed in Okinawa.

I think War is absolutely terrible. I think that such a war should be absolutely prohibited in future.
