The effects of 2nd world war on my family
The war left many tragic results for my family. The effect my family and the entire people in the whole town witnessed was during the war, how the army evaded and took all over my town. Some of my relatives` lost their lives, the country currency was changed also my family had to relocate to a neighboring town to settle for a period of time during the war. At that place we relocated, we were welcomed and treated nicely even to an extent of forgetting our own home of origin to settle over with my family.
First, the currency of the country was changed, and we ended up not having any money and lived in poverty. During that same period, for a family to get money to buy food for the house hold was something you can not talk about. As a result of the currency changed the food items became costly. The producers where not producing much food that could be enough for people because of the lack of capital in their business. As a result of the situation, people were finding it difficult to buy food item and feed their household families due to of the scarcity of food. It came to an extent that people began to beg for food to eat.
Many of my relatives lost their lives. People began to die, especially the little children because of lack of good food, at a certain point people began to suffer what we call {kwashioko} which means malnutrition in the body. The water was so bad; the environment was not conducive and was so dirty. Also, no good treatment in the hospital. As a result of the war the hospital were lacking drugs to treat people. And it became difficult for household families to have better life and good health.
We were forced to live our homeland to another place. It was all because of the 2nd world war that attacked my family and other people. The war was so much to a certain point that we could not bear the shelling and the shooting was so much all over the whole place, there was no hide out for people because the armies well stationed everywhere hijacking and killing people. So fear was in the lives of people at that crucial period. We couldn’t stand it any longer, so we moved to a neighboring place to stay.
Honestly the 2nd world war is not good to share this effect at any time any day! it doesn’t give me mouth to explain or to tell people because of what my family went through . The war was an unforgetful tragedy to be mentioned or food for taught or remembered effect that made people to lost their family members and so many others not to mention. The war left many tragic results for my family and others.
