Family is a bonding, a treasure, a blessing, a shelter, a joy. Family, some may define it as “a group of people who are related to each other”. A family contains people who are going to be there for you no matter what, not necessarily coming from the same ancestors. They accept you as who you are and will be there through thick and thin.

The parents were relocated to neighboring countries for work, while their children were left behind to make their way to Europe or to a secure country for protection. A separation like this causes a breakdown in a family and impacts the children physically and mentally. Another example of how families are divided is by deportation. Deportation has a massive impact on families, more than 100,000 of non-citizen parents are deported and are torn from their families.

World War II also had an effect in families because of the absence of fathers. Multiple women were working in factories and would leave their children in the care of others.
