Hi!  My name is Joe and I was 12 years old living in the United States when World War II began in 1942.  During that time, I was able to keep in contact with some of my old friends that had moved to different parts of the world.  I have kept these letters since that time, and I have provided them for you to read.  I challenge you to read about each individual's experiences and complete the activities that follow.  Read Joe's letters by clicking on the process link below to begin your journey!
