    This book is made up of people’s memories of the second world war. It has loads of pictures and is very informative and gives you a broad selection – everything from the holocaust survivors to the blitz casualties – Great read but for ages 12+

    I enjoyed this book because it was the tales of all different people who had different fates in wartime Britain.
