You’re reading this week’s At War newsletter. It has been 75 years since World War II ended, and the conflict still feels like one of the most covered events of the century — from public-school curriculums to films, TV series and countless books. But every year, there are fewer and fewer people living who actually remember the war and what it cost us. For 2020, At War and The Times’s Special Projects team are producing a series called “Beyond the World War II We Know,” highlighting lesser-known stories about the end of the war and its aftermath. And we will recount events from 1945 that shaped the postwar new world order.
