Exploring the impact of World War II on childhood, this study intertwines personal memories with historical context to highlight the challenges faced by children during the war. It delves into protective measures like gas masks and air-raid shelters, the interruption of schooling, and the emotional turmoil of evacuation. The narrative captures the duality of wartime experiences, from feelings of security to fear, while also examining the toys, games, and community activities that provided solace and distraction amidst the chaos.
