Attic Artifacts: The 101st Airborne
Following World War II, many Americans kept souvenirs of lost loved ones or their time in the war. Many of these articles were stored in boxes or trunks and then tucked away in attics, basements, and garages for decades. In this program, students critically evaluate images, documents, and a variety of artifacts from the 101st Airborne’s part in the D-Day invasion and liberation of Western Europe.
Our IKEducators can deliver this program to you virtually through IKE Online, or in-person to Kansas classrooms via IKE Express. Our programs are always FREE.
