In the U.S. and other countries impacted by the events on June 6, 1944, historians and educators worry that the World War II milestone is losing its resonance with today’s students. In the U.S., teaching about World War II varies from state to state. For eight years, National History Day sent 15 pairs of students and teachers to Normandy to immerse them in the history of D-Day. The National World War II Museum offers an electronic field trip through D-Day and provides suggested lessons plans. Even in the country where D-Day occurred, the assault doesn’t have a central, dominant place in the teaching of World War II.
