sister Oona story
When she was living at home they always had blackouts, they were not even allowed to have torches on.In the winter it was very cold and you were lucky if you had heating but most of the time no one did.
Communication was very hard telephone was difficult because most of them didnt work and if they did they were scared to give any information because the enemy might be listening and all letters would be checked for too much information. sister Oona had a friend who would go on and on in letters and when sister Oona got the letter there was only dear Oona and her signature, all the rest was cut out.
food was rationed and they would have a ration book after you used all of the ration there was nothing left you could eat.
sister Oona remembered one night when there was bombing and the head nun had asked the slodier to open the window, but he said "ma'am there are no windows to open" this was because all the wondows had been blown out in the bomb.
When sister Oona was very lucky and didnt lose any family in the war
