Dot's Diary Blog: Stories and background information related to Dorothy's 1945-46 personal diaries. Dot, my mother, was 17 in 1945, living in the Englewood neighborhood on the south side of Chicago.
Dot's diary entries are accompanied by pictures from her scrapbook and, in some cases, by recollections from her younger sister Louise (“Sis”), and by the news of the day. I've also added comments of my own.
