As we approach this year’s anniversary of Sept. 11, we wanted to hear from young people with little or no memory of the attacks; those for whom 9/11 is a part of history beyond memory.

Here are the voices of four state residents recorded at Connecticut’s 9/11 Living Memorial at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport: Hillary O'Neill, Nicholas Marini, Chatwan Mongkol and Ahla Amin.

This is an excerpt from the upcoming CPTV Cutline - 20 Years After 9/11: Memorials, Memory And Meaning. It premieres Thursday, Aug. 26, 2021, at 8 p.m. on CPTV and the CPTV Livestream.
