Georgia Journeys
A project by Museum of History and Holocaust EducationGeorgia Journeys traces the stories of veterans, home front workers, and Holocaust survivors who have a strong connection to Georgia. The stories are based mainly on oral testimony given by participants in the Museum of History and Holocaust Education at Kennesaw State University's Legacy Series oral history project. This testimony is occasionally supplemented by first-person quotations from published memoir, letters, and oral histories recorded with other institutions.
