Starting this past February and running to 9 February 2025, the National WWI Museum in Kansas City is presenting a special exhibit on how the war affected children in the belligerant nations. In their introductory statement, the curators had this to say:
War impacts everyone; world wars, even more so. Explore the lives of children swept up by the storms of World War I while adults were fighting on the front line and supporting the war effort. What does a world war look like to a child? For some, it was saying good-bye to their grown-ups going away to far-off lands. For others, it was holding their grown-ups’ hands as they fled their homes. Often, it was hunger and hardship.
Information on tickets can be found HERE. Below are some samples of the material on display.
