At its heart, the organization exists to ensure that the Berlin Airlift is not only remembered as a historic event that shapes the world we live in to this day, but understood as a powerful example of what is possible when people stand for freedom and democracy.
Voices of the Berlin Airlift
Voices of the Berlin Airlift is a historical preservation initiative that brings together a forthcoming book, a growing archive of oral histories, and educational materials dedicated to the legacy of the Berlin Airlift.
From eyewitnesses and children who lived through it in Berlin, to veterans, aircrew, families, and historians preserving these accounts today, each voice adds an essential layer to the story.
If you or someone you know has a story to share, we warmly invite you to contribute—so these memories can be preserved and passed on to future generations.
