Her War, Her Story: World War II

Narrated by actress Jane Lynch, HER WAR, HER STORY: WORLD WAR II tells the stories of more than two dozen women's experiences during the war. From members of the U.S. Women's Army Corps to the civilian witnesses to the war in Europe, this hour-long film shows how women were equal to men in patriotism, service and steadfastness in critical moments. Interviewees featured in the film include: U.S. Navy codebreaker Julia Parsons; Women's Army Corps MP Lucia Amat; Alba Thompson, aide to General Douglas MacArthur; U.S. Army 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion members Anna Mae Robertson and Deloris Ruddock; Auschwitz survivor Anna Arbeiter; Blitz witness Gwendoline Patrino; and Cecile Pasquette Osmont, who lived behind Utah Beach on D-Day; among others.
