How did she feel when she heard about the horrors of the concentration camps!? What were most people's feelings abou the dropping of the bombs at that time!?Www@QuestionHome@Com I would ask about the changing roles of women!. With so many men going to war, a lot of women had to take on responsibilities normally thought to be a man's job!. A lot of women went to work in factories, which was traditionally a man's domain, got a taste of independence, and then had to give up those jobs when the men came home!. They were expected to act like they were the same as before, and go back to more traditional roles!.Www@QuestionHome@Com i have done similar in my line of work,try and keep it general,about how life was in WW2,the conditions,the housing,entertainment,food n drink,what sort of work the lady done during the war,just remember to keep it general,dont dig into personal stuff unless the lady feels ok talking about things like family etc,its nice to use "prompts"sometimes,say an old ration book,a pic of a film star from that era etc or if you have any books about ww"with pics its maybe an idea to take them along and you will find a talking point!Www@QuestionHome@Com |
