Exploring the Different Reactions of People Toward Evacuation On the 31st August 1939 1.5 million school children were evacuated to the countryside to be taken in by families across the country. The evacuation took place over the next 3 days and by the end day war was declared. The idea of evacuation was protect and save innocent lives and look after the future of Britain against the new technology. The four groups involved each had very different experiences of evacuation. Many of the evacuees enjoyed the experience in the country although many hated it. Many of the evacuees felt that the country was strange and very different to life in the city as some of they had never even seen a cow before. The children had no say in where or even if they were to be evacuated. The children were often lined up in a line and picked out like cattle by the new foster parents. Some of the evacuees were very homesick and some were sent home early. They were often very scared as many were very young and they were just sent on a train alone to an unknown destination. Others found the experience were exciting and thought of it like more of an adventure as it was a new place. Some of the children felt unwanted and even sometimes badly treated or beaten, many were made to feel at home and like one of the family. The children that felt unwanted and had bad experiences felt resentful towards there parents as they were the ones that sent them there. It was said that Bernard Kops enjoyed for the first time “hot water that came from a tap, and upstairs lavatory and something called the eiderdown”. He was very lucky that he got sent to a nice clean home as many of them got sent to dirty homes and felt very homesick. The parents had a really hard time with evacuation, some of them were sent away with there children. Most were made to stay in the cities to help with the war effort.

The concept that you could stand at one end of town and see the other side of town gave the citizens a sense of protection and security. It was a semi-medieval town with actual walls still surrounding the inner core of the city. The dominant religion in the city was Lutheran, but the Catholics would begin to emerge in the late 1800s. The city was made up of people from mostly the working class. Because of the emergence of more technical academies and college preparatory schools there was the arrival of teachers, artisans, more government officials, and railroad personnel.

Evacuation was when children, expectant mothers, the frail elderly, the disabled, and the chronically sick were moved to safer areas of the country in anticipation of bombing but not all these people moved. The plan for the evacuation was drawn up by the Anderson Committee in the summer of 1938. An advice leaflet produced by the Lord Privy Seal’s Office in July 1939 advised everyone to move whose presence could not be of assistance. Although evacuation was voluntary, many leaflets, radio shows and other propaganda was produced by the government to try to persuade people to go. They put a lot of time, effort and money into the production of propaganda.

The life of a slave was subservient to the master. They had to obey without question or face punishment. Even if the master was less abusive and demanding, the slave still held resentment, for his life was not his own. For slave owners, the main object was to keep financially valuable slaves alive and working. That was all that mattered. They were items, property and a commodity to be owned or sold for profit. Slave owner’s supplied only the minimum needs for survival, little food was given and often that was not fit to eat. Living conditions were poor such as no beds or bedding. The work was grueling and the hours were long for the slave. They often got very little sleep and they were watched during the day to make sure they were not idle and at night to be sure they didn’t escape. They were dominated by the people that owned them.
Based on the scenario, local law enforcement agencies would already be aware of the situation. The Regional Center for Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management has been mobilized.
