A year of war in Ukraine has created a haunted generation

A year of war in Ukraine has created a haunted generation of children, says Julian Zelizer.

Zelizer says he returned from his fourth trip to Ukraine over the past year and what he saw broke my heart.

He says the eyes of children are the gateway to their souls, and what I saw brought me to tears.

Many of these children will develop post-traumatic stress disorder, Zelizer writes.

Earle Mack: The baby boomer and GenX leaders of America seem content to live out their years cloistered in a society built upon the work and sacrifices created by their parents and grandparents.

Most have no personal touchstone to World War II, the Holocaust or even the Cold War, events that portend the implications of Ukraine’s fall, he says.
