Gene Parylak lived in the North of France during World War II. In this interview, led by her great-granddaughter, she discusses life in her village during the War, the hardships of life under German occupation, and the American liberation of France. She remembers coming of age in a war torn village, and eventually meeting the American soldier that she married mere days after the end of the War.
