CHICAGO, April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ In the BBC series “My Grandparents’ War,” now airing on PBS in the U.S., World War II history comes to life as modern-day celebrities, including Helena Bonham Carter, learn about their grandparents’ experiences in that turbulent era. Author Elizabeth Vrato has a similar story to share.
