History, WWII who cares?

I went to RAF Uxbridge today, this is where the bunker that controlled the Battle of Britain is located.

Nice visitor centre with somewhere to get something to eat and drink.
The guide was very enthusiastic and it was very interesting.

When I got there it was a bit emotional, not quite sure why but at the end I felt it a bit sad. In a few years, will anyone care?

WWII was nearly 80 years ago. Is it so long ago that for teenagers of today, it is not important? WWI was even further in the past.

How long will it be before it is "forgotten" or become "unimportant"?
