War Children: The Second World War In Their Own Words

Using taped interviews from the Imperial War Museum's extensive Sound Archive, Phil Robbins has gathered together this compelling collection of first-hand accounts from people who grew up during the World War II. As well as British children's stories of evacuation and the Blitz, this book includes memories from survivors of the Holocaust in Europe and from Germans who as children witnessed the near-total destruction of their country. Illustrated with many contemporary photographs, and including a timeline of the war and an index, 'War Children' provides a vivid insight into childhood experiences during wartime.
