Fall from Innocence

For many youngsters, World War Two was the defining experience of their lives. Although in most cases spared the fear of enemy occupation, their lives were no less dramatic. Those who were children at the time speak out in this powerful history of the Second World War through a child’s eyes.

Exposed to death, destruction, bombing and ousted from their family homes, WWII children were forced to cope with the loss of friends and family when counselling was an unheard of phenomenon. Collected over a 30-year period, Lyn Smith expertly captures the loss of innocence during the horrific war period. With over 100 contributors and spanning a wide geographical area stretching beyond the home front, discover the intense physical and psychological effects wartime can have on the young.

Young Voices unearths the six years of dramatic deprivation experienced by children forced into a dark and dangerous world beyond their imagination.
