During World War II, many children were evacuated from London to protect them from the dangers of bombings and air raids. The British government initiated this evacuation to ensure their safety and well-being, as cities were frequent targets for enemy attacks. Children were sent to the countryside or other safer areas, often living with foster families or in temporary accommodations, to minimize their exposure to wartime violence. This effort aimed to safeguard the younger generation while allowing parents to contribute to the war effort.
This part of the book is set in England in WW II at the time the Germans were bombing many cities, including London (see "The Blitz"). Families in cities frequently sent their children into the country so that the children would be safe from the bombing attacks.
Parents desperate to get their kids away from the Nazis sent them on the Kindertransport. The trip was rough on the kids but they were sent to safe areas like London where they lived with friends or relatives until the war was over.
To get away from the bombing.
yes
Yes, I think so. I don't have the book at hand, but if I remember correctly, the children were sent away by their parents to the professor's home, for their protection. The book takes place during World War II, and the kids are English. At that time, Great Britain and especially London was under heavy bombing by the Nazis, so a lot of parents sent their children away someplace safer.
Her children were sent away to another peace of land so the Romans couldn't capture her or her children
The children were sent to the country to live with people there. Some were sent to Ireland and the United States. These were children of the more wealthier families. The children who were evacuated from London and other towns were called evacuees.
I don't think there is a particular word for Wales, but children sent away from their families for the duration of war are "evacuees".
Evecuee
They were sent away to homes in the country side away from where the was was taking place.
Peter, Edmund, Susan, and Lucy lived in London before they were sent away to live with Professor Kirke in the countryside during World War II.
Sent away WHERE? Sent away by WHO? Sent away for what REASON? As a general answer - you can't be "sent away" (I assume you mean to jail) if you haven't broken any laws.
