Under one roof : memories of youth in World War II

Description: "Living in Waitakere Gardens, an independent retirement village, I frequently met people who had been children or teenagers during World War II. Over the years they told me their stories and I was amazed and inspired by what they had gone through in their early years... I really just wanted to hear about the war years and asked them to tell us something about their family and their childhood and then how their life was during the war. The stories usually ended when they immigrated to New Zealand. Or, in the case of New Zealanders, soon after the war. I recorded their stories on my computer..."--From prologue.
