Remembering 9/11: Adults and Children's Perspectives
A Tale of Two Generations
On September 11, 2001, the United States experienced a tragedy that forever changed the nation's course.
Adults: Vivid Memories of a Life-Altering Day
Adults who lived through 9/11 vividly recall the events of that fateful day. They remember where they were, who they were with, and the overwhelming sense of shock and disbelief that washed over them.
Children: Stories from a Perspective of History
For children born after 9/11, the events of that day are only known through stories told by parents, teachers, and history books. They understand the significance of the tragedy, but their connection to it is more distant.
As we approach the anniversary of 9/11, it is important to bridge the gap between these two generations by sharing personal accounts, documentaries, and educational materials that help children comprehend the profound impact that this event had on the world.
