This week we continue our readings of ww2 letters. We went into depth on some letters and we got into groups to work on presentations about certain people in ww2 and there letters that they wrote. Some of the letters we read for our group presentations were very positive and up-lifting. My group studied Raphael Nies letters and he always loved receiving and sending letters to his friends. His friends would make sure that he is caught up on the games going on at Muhlenberg and would say what was happening at the time. They would all be thankful for the letters and honestly I didn’t think they would be that positive. I thought that there would be a lot of worry in the letters but they just wanted to catch up on what was going on around them. I know me personally I would love giving and receiving letters if I was in WW2, but at the same time I feel like I would be very depressed when writing with the violence that would be right behind me. I feel as though these letters were their way of happiness and gave them joy and hope to return home. I guess that through those letters, it overcame what violence was behind his shoulder.
