Hello,

could you please check whether my intuition is right when it comes to the sentences below?

1) Today we recall the WWII.

2) Today we remember the WWII.

The first sentence could only be uttered by someone who survived the WWII. The sencond sentence could also be uttered by someone who was born long after the WWII.

Best wishes
