Description

In A Time to Serve, residents of Sunset Manor and Village of Jenison, Michigan share their experiences of World War II, a period in history that required millions of Americans to serve in the military, in service organizations, and on the home front. The loss of life was staggering. Citizens of Allied European countries were closer to battles and suffered from deprivation of food and comfort. Many sacrificed their lives in resistance movements and by hiding Jews and other citizens in their homes. Loved ones died in German prison camps and on the front lines. Millions of Jews were persecuted and killed in concentration camps. Perspectives and experiences differ in each of these stories, but all of these remarkable individuals displayed faith, honor, and courage, as well as a willingness to serve when they were called. This book is a tribute to those whose collective efforts resulted in freedom and opportunity for those who followed.
