Christmas 1942

Christmas 1942 saw the United States fully immersed in World War II with troops in England, North Africa and Pacific islands. Those on the homefront faced a holiday without loved ones as well as product shortages and pressure to forsake luxuries for war bonds. Would this be the only wartime Christmas or just the start of many? Join Maggie Strolle for an exploration of the ways Christmas 1942 was experienced in the Pacific Theater, The Atlantic Theater and on the Homefront.
