Happy National Classic Movie Day! I celebrate the continuing relevance of classic films. Here, Spencer Tracy in Judgment at Nuremberg (1961). I celebrate when movies took a stand.

From Cherry Ames, to Meet the Malones, from Dave Dawson to Kitty Carter - Canteen Girl, the Silent Generation spent their childhood immersed in geopolitical events through the prism of their middle grade and young adult books. From the home front to the battlefield, these books are a window on their world, and influenced their hard-working, conformity-loving generation.
