This takes me back to the stories my mother told me about the depression

as a modern 14 year old kid, i would just like to say our generation is going to be FUCKED if this ever happens. learning about the great depression is so interesting and I’ve never been more excited and engrossed in learning. Actually, I’ve never even been excited to learn, let alone engrossed in the lecture. But something about the Great Depression is seriously so intriguing. I would love to sit down with one of these people and just hear stories upon stories.

my parents grew up during the depression. their families made it thru it with decency, integrity and togetherness. the result was being the "greatest generation".

Im only 20 years younger than these people, but I remember my mom and dad teaching us some of these same things. As a child I was told to "clean your plate", too. I could listen to stories like these all day! Such a treasure in our elders that many so readily dismiss.

These are unbelievable accounts of Great Depression survivors. To think of what this generation endured as children is heartbreaking - Keith

Anyone else watching during the Covid19 pandemic. Wanted “advice” I guess from people that went through it themselves.

I wonder how my generation would handle this type of depression. probably not very well.

Lauren i advise you to get a bunch of Great Depression people to sit on stage n film it and let them talk to your classes n school n elementary school as well as well as girl and boy scouts n church n youth groups. Hopefully it would spark some people in this and if u can make a group to go round n help people and teach them. Also send out Heirloom veg seeds in each letter n makes good stocking stuffer
