1. Did you know anyone that had to go to war?
-yes my friend's dad. at that time, a lot of people were being drafted to go to war and you were almost expecting everyday to get a letter saying you had been drafted for war.
2. Did that person change when he came back from war?
-he never did. he didn't make it back. it wasn't only him who didn't make it back, it was very common for letters to be received saying you had lost that loved one. :(
3. Was the war a topic you talked about in school or outside school at that time?
-no. we were all scared because most had relatives at war so we didn't want to be talking about the subject, we were actually trying to forget about it because the topic brought us a lot of anxiety and nervousness, I mean, it was a tough time.
4. Were you taught about the progress of the war at school?
-no, technology at that time was not as advanced, therefore we didn't have access to the latest news so it was rare when they had news about the war for us.
5. What was the hardest part of having someone you knew at war?
-everything but not knowing what they were going through at every moment was horrible. I mean, you didn't know if they were suffering, or if they were alright, or if they were even alive still. it was hard not knowing. probably the hardest things I've been through.
