Being a Kid

Imagine what it would be like if you had been around during the Second World War. Your father and maybe an older brother would have been gone for years, fighting overseas while you and the rest of your family worried and waited for news. You might have seen unfamiliar men training in your home town, while many of the men you knew best were gone. You might have had one of the 7,000 kids sent here for safety from Great Britain in your class. And if you were from a German, Italian or Japanese family, you might well have been bullied, no matter how loyal you were to Canada.
