Let Us Try To Look Back, Lest We Forget

A touching story of the millions of people who endured WWII

Preserving memories of war is considerably amazing. Reminiscing of the past memories of warfare will bring us to the gloomy days that the people have endured. How much more if you were one of those who have witnessed and experienced the hostilities? Would it make you happy to think about them? Author Ivy Woods tries to save all of her memories prior and subsequent World War II with her desire to remember the historic event that has tainted the world’s history — and she would like to share it with us, Lest We Forget.

The early part of her life was exposed to the aggressive era of war. At the age of fourteen, she was already working. But more than that she cannot forget her tragic experience with the wars that have made many impacts in her life. She relates about the brutal conflicts that would force the people to spend years of hiding in bomb shelters, the terror of mass destruction, Hitler’s invasion of Poland, Great Britain and France’s war against Germany, the Nazi occupation, the Japanese occupation, the wars in different countries, and the comfort women and their sufferings. There were many faces of sufferings during that time, millions of people had died by brutal killings, people were in great terror — children, men and women, regardless of age endured the same fate. How much did they suffer? How long did they wait before peace took over? Lest We Forget there were brave young men and women who gave their lives for the sake of the life that the following generations would embrace. The moving story of the people who have endured during those times of wars might have injected pain and sadness to us. However, looking deeply into the history itself will give us the proud feeling and the joy that somehow, we have surpassed one of the greatest ordeals of time.
