Children were massively affected by World War II. Nearly two million children were evacuated from their homes at the start of World War II. They had to endure rationing, gas mask lessons, living with strangers etc.
Sadly, children accounted for one in ten of the deaths during the Blitz of London from 1940 to 1941.
Here is an emotional photo collection that shows everyday life of children during World War II.
