Evacuees during World War II...

I found the blog page! :)
I found pictures of some of the children who were evacuees from London :). I found it amazing to see how during all the hardships of the war and having to leave your parents that some of the children could still smile on their way to their new homes-in the first picture. Its really a  picture depicting a child's innocence. The second picture, I find, is really sad. It's amazing that some children were REALLY young when they left their families and the look on their faces says it all: fear, confusion and great sadness. I read that many children stayed in danger areas in London, because their parents refused to have them evacuated. As a parent it's probably really hard to let go of your child, but it's a huuuge risk for your child's life. Some groups of children went together with their class and teacher. It's crazy that this all actually took place... -Kayla :) <3
