Before the outbreak of war in September 1940, the British government put plans in place to evacuate millions of children, but only 800,000 left towns and cities at risk of being bombed. Children of the Blitz features stories from some of the two million children who stayed at home. Now the last surviving witnesses to the reality of the Blitz, their testimony offers an intimate and moving portrait ofwartime Britain through children’s eyes.
