What's it like to be that goofy little soldier, scared stiff, with his bayonet aimed at Christ? What's it like to have been a woman in a defense-plant job during World War II? What's it like to be a kid at the front lines? It's all funny and tragic at the same time Studs Terkel

Leonardo DiCaprio quote: "My mom, Irmelin, taught me the value of life. Her own life was..."
My mom, Irmelin, taught me the value of life. Her own life was saved by my grandmother during World War II. Leonardo DiCaprio
Today we know that World War II began not in 1939 or 1941 but in the 1920's and 1930's when those who should have known better persuaded themselves that they were not their brother's keeper. Hubert H. Humphrey
I think the reaction to a World War II situation would be the same today as it was in 1942. Initially, people would question, but once patriotism got stirred up, the whole thing would gather momentum and we'd all pull together. Parker Stevenson

Even I had no opportunity to conduct very many concerts after World War II. Kurt Masur
