In 1932, during the Great Depression, it is estimated that around 1.5 million families lost their homes due to foreclosures and economic hardships. Many were unable to pay their mortgages as unemployment soared and income plummeted. This widespread loss of housing contributed to the rise of shantytowns, often referred to as "Hoovervilles," where displaced families sought shelter. The economic crisis drastically altered the landscape of housing and social support in America.
Yes, many children felt homesick during World War II. As families were separated due to evacuation, military service, or displacement from bombings, children often found themselves in unfamiliar environments, such as foster homes or shelters. The longing for their homes, families, and familiar routines led to feelings of anxiety and sadness. Additionally, the trauma of war and loss exacerbated their emotional struggles.
Many Jewish families went into hiding during World War II to escape the persecution and systematic extermination carried out by the Nazis. The rise of anti-Semitic policies and the implementation of the Holocaust led to the deportation of Jews to concentration camps, where they faced brutal conditions and likely death. Hiding offered a slim chance for survival, as families sought refuge in the homes of non-Jewish sympathizers or concealed themselves in secret locations to evade capture. This desperate measure was often the only option left to avoid the horrors of the Holocaust.
They moved to suburbs because new neighborhoods were built. Cars are responsible for suburban life. Before cars people lived in and around the city center. They could walk to downtown, shop, and go to government offices because they were living near them. With the invention of the car people didn't have to stay so near to downtown so they began to build further out. After the men came home from WW2 they wanted new homes for their young families away from the older rundown parts of town, so construction companies began to build vast neighborhoods for the families and because they didn't want to drive all the way to shop stores were built to sell to the new families. Schools were built and eventually malls were created with movie theaters, restaurants, and more stores. Today, some cities have gone back into the older sections, restored older homes and apartments, added outdoor cafes, and having events in downtown so the lost downtowns are becoming places to go and be seen.
