The mass evacuation of children and new and expectant mothers
during the Second World War is well documented. But over fifty per
cent of children were not evacuated during the War, and it is these
young people who offer an unrivalled view of what life was like
during the bombing raids in Britain's cities. In Blitz Families
Penny Starns takes a new look at the children whose parents refused
to bow to official pressure and kept their beloved children with
them throughout the War. As she documents family after family which
made this difficult decision, she uncovers tales of the
deprivation, criminality and disease of life in the city and,
conversely, the surprising relative emotional and physical
wellbeing of those who lived through the Blitz compared to their
evacuee counterparts. Because of their unique position at the heart
of the action, these forgotten children offer us a priceless
insight into the true grit and reality of the Blitz.
