In this episode of The World War II Daily Podcast, we sit down with Zach Dunn, a 25-year-old Canadian filmmaker and founder of Global Veterans Stories. Inspired by the experiences of his grandfather who served in WWII, Zach has made it his mission to record and preserve the stories of veterans before they are lost to time.
Since 2021, Zach has interviewed 85 veterans from 12 different countries, covering World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Through video interviews and mini-documentaries, he shares these powerful accounts with schools across Canada and on social media, ensuring future generations can learn from those who served. His oldest interviewee? A WWII veteran who just turned 110.
Zach shares the moving stories behind the project, his travels, and what it means to connect with the last living witnesses of the 20th century’s most defining conflicts. If you know a veteran who might want to be interviewed—wherever they are in the world—Zach is always looking to continue the mission.
