warexperience.org is a project of Omni Media Services‘ efforts to record and preserve the history of America’s veterans and civilians affected by war. Omni has been conducting interviews since 2000 in partnership the Broomfield Veterans Museum, Regis University’s Stories From Wartime Series, and Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum. Over 200 individuals have been recorded during this period. This website contains excerpts of those full interviews to summarize key moments of their stories.
Below is an example of one of the stories we’ve captured through the years featuring Holocaust Survivor Martin Small detailing his liberation from the Mauthausen concentration camp in 1945 and an almost impossible coincidence that he discovered decades later. Recorded for the American Memories series at the Broomfield Veterans Museum.
Through our partnership with the Regis University Center for the Study of War Experience, we interviewed Joe Sakato of the legendary 442nd Regimental Combat Team about the action in 1944 that led to his much belated awarding of the Medal of Honor 55 years later.
