These two websites focuses on the experiences of Japanese citizens during World War II in Japan. Many times, history books forget to include the horrible stories of inhumane treatment and horrid living conditions of the regular citizens during the time of war. Prefectural Peace Memorial provides its guests with personal testimonials of Okinawa battle. Himeyuri Peace Museum is based on the real life stories of students from two secondary schools and their experiences being mobilized to help in the war efforts. Less than 30% of these students returned home. Students would greatly benefit from the stories of people who lived through that chaotic time. Real stories makes it more relatable and believable for the students. This could be used for the WW2 and even the Cold War unit too.
