Özet:

Events that leave permanent marks on social memory are among the significant factors that result in literary works.

The present study scans all 38 published volumes of İleri Yavrutürk (Progressive Turkish Youth) magazine between 1976 and 1977 to identify children’s stories about war and immigration. Identified manuscripts were scrutinized based on their messages for child readers and the methods that these messages were communicated with.
