Re: Imperial War Museum
At one point they turn all the lights off and project large images onto all the walls - so you're surrounded by 40ft high images of people who lived through it all. Add to that the sound of their stories being played out and it's really emotive. The thing that hit me most were the stories from the evacuees and from the mothers - can you imagine a world where it is deemed safer to send your children away to live with strangers for four years than to stay where they are with you?
I looked at Maddie, who's 5 years old, and couldn't even begin to understand how awful the situation must have been to have made that decision.
