Sobre IBD

Unlike Europe the American mainland escaped physical devastation during World War II as it was not subjected to full-scale invasions. However, that didn’t mean the United States wasn’t impacted by the war. The ramifications of large economic, cultural, and societal changes forced Americans to reconsider entrenched beliefs and traditions.Artifacts collected from across the nation tell the stories of the American people whose lives were shaped by this second 'war to end all wars,' World War II.
