“I really loved it” – With those words, he went off to war. He was 20 at the end of the war and is now 100. “Who do you love? What food do you like?” We asked today’s 20-year-olds and those who were 20 during the war.

This year marks 80 years since the end of the war. Those who were 20 years old at the time are now turning 100.
What were their thoughts and feelings as 20-year-olds living through such a difficult era? We spoke with 100-year-olds living in the Tokai region about their experiences at that time.

We also posed the same question to today’s 20-year-olds.

We listen to the thoughts of 20-year-olds who lived through the war era and today’s 20-year-olds, separated by 80 years of time.
