War Stories
War Stories began with the depiction of the emotional part of war memories of old people in Nebraska and Germany and of young people in Chicago, with emphasis on World Wars I and II and the Iraq War.

The series has evolved to include reports of refugees from Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, and fittingly, the work has become more complex as have the stories.
