15/10/19 BBC WW2 Testimonies Project
Dear All,
Please see the below message, which may be of interest to some Members. If anyone wishes to take part, please would they contact the author direct.
I am working at the BBC on a project aiming to capture testimonies by people who lived through or fought in World War Two. Naturally due to the time passed, we are limited on the amount of people we can talk to, but we want to speak to as many people as possible in order to gain as wider perspective as possible of WW2.
We have been talking to societies and associations who are in contact with veterans, but we are keen to find even more people who perhaps haven’t talked about their experience before, so we are reaching out to lots of people to spread the word.
I was wondering if any of you were or knew of any veterans or people who lived through the war who might be willing to talk to us about their experience. If they are interested, we would either call them, or send a letter or email, to talk about what they remember, and then if they are keen we would record their testimony.
Many thanks,
Ella Wood (RESEARCHER BBC EVENTS) tel: 07738 887 834 email: ella.wood01@bbc.co.uk
