The @WWIImuseum has fantastic resources for educators seeking to make their lessons on WWII more informative and engaging for students. The wide availability of primary sources and guides makes any class on the conflict more beneficial to the students. Thank you!
@WWIImuseum Thank you for kicking off the month in fine style! These were very interesting and important to read. Thank you! 🇺🇸

@WWIImuseum Just want to say I found this article on the Arcadia Conference quite valuable. Thank you!
My wife and I *might* be taking our son to New Orleans for his spring break. The @WWIImuseum is there and he has always wanted to visit since he was young. It would be an AMAZING trip.
Words cannot express how grateful I am to the @WWIImuseum for bringing this cohort of amazing educators back together for the opening of the Liberation Pavilion. This conference and curriculum work has been so important to me as an educator. #ww2history #museumed #socialstudies
They added a new building and exhibit sections to the @WWIImuseum. It's based on the four pillars of freedom from FDR. It really needs to be experienced. The recorded interviews from (survivors and soldiers) and photos from the holocaust are incredibly emotional.
#OTD in 1972, former President Harry S. Truman was buried in the courtyard of the Truman Library. In this photo, servicemen are preparing to fold the flag draped over HST's casket. Thanks to one of those servicemen, we recently added their names to the description of this photo.
