The Home Front in World War II
The
Home Front in World War II examines the experiences of millions
of civilians in different countries throughout the course of the
Second World War. For most countries the Second World War was unlike
most previous wars in that it was not confined to distant battlefields
between trained military men but was also fought in the streets
of cities and squares of small villages. Women, and children in
some cases, joined the work force in a desperate attempt to win
their country's war. Millions of civilians - far more than the
number of soldiers - died in death camps, in their own homes as
bombs fell, at the hands of their own governments, or by starvation
as enemy forces ravaged their countries.
Panels
explaining the role of key events and individuals are scattered
throughout as are fascinating photos and maps to illustrate this
important part of world history.
