About 3,000 people lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., on September 11, 2001. Thousands more narrowly escaped, their survival a result of eerily prescient spur-of-the-moment decisions, acts of superhuman courage, the unfailing kindness of strangers, and, in some cases, fortuitous strokes of luck.

This forum is a space for the survivors of September 11. Please email nine11oralhistory@hotmail.com your personal thoughts about the stories in the book, stories from that tragic day, or post messages to fellow survivors, families of survivors, or families of the victims. You may also ask questions to the author, Dean Murphy.

After sharing your stories in the forum, you may want to join us for one of our special memorial events being held in the New York/New Jersey and Washington, DC areas. If you are a survivor, or if one of your friends, family or loved ones were survivors or victims, please join us for one of these evenings of remembrance.

Details can be found on the Memorial Dates page.
