Sharon Kenney Studying World War 2 History



Sharon Kenney (in the blue blouse at left) is making a point about what she learned from her study of World War 2. At SVDP-ALC we are now having small class discussions on the topic of World War 2 as our school prepares for a field trip to the D-Day Museum in New Orleans (now called the National World War 2 Museum).
Sharon was horrified by the facts she learned about the genocide committed by the Nazis (the Holocaust), and all in the class were fascinated to learn about the famous Flying Tigers, the U.S. pilots who flew in China, among other topics. The discussions about Pearl Harbor were especially meaningful and poignant. Our class had already discussed in detail the events of June 6, 1944 (D-Day) last month, but we reviewed this topic because it is so important and was such a gigantic undertaking. We will have much more about WW2 on this blog as our class prepares for our trip to the museum.
