War Options

[+Ed+]

Today is the biggest holiday in Russia. It is called "The Victory Day".

And although we might have some germans reading the board, I would love to start a discussion with you, my friends.

What are you and your kids taught at school? What about the Second World War? Who held the victory? WHat was the meaning of the war? What do you now know about it and how you feel about it?

Or maybe someone does not know what the Second World War was? I sometimes meet the kids who never have a clue...

It is a very difficult subject.
Here in Holland children are told about this War but it doesn't "affect" them (in my opinion).
They are busy living their own life (Ipad, Iphone, computers, social talking).
It happened a long time ago and they (mostly) do not have relatives (grandpa and grandma) anymore who can tell about the cruelties of War (all wars).
I personally think we should never stop talking about wars in general in order to prevent wars to initiated and to be held.
So, I made a start !
