Wanted to point out the work that the Veteran’s History Project at LC is doing with new remote interview training. It is important to take interviews of all veterans but I feel that AJL could work on expanding the interviews of Jewish U.S. war veterans in all of the wars (with our great connections in the community and are networking skills). Now that this can be done remotely, it is much easier to capture these stories no matter where in the world the U.S. war veteran lives (in Israel ….) I’m sure we could add to this VHP project especially that now there is training for remote interviews. It’s so important to documents these stories. See article below . The site for VHP is : https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.loc.gov/vets/__;!!KGKeukY!nZle5zuCr4evQck6NC2wSHdn7Y4vGSSdmSCItFJ9GRIkGdB8kfwNhR5d4PCt7DEQu_mwEkfbprNZaQU$ . Thanks, Gail
