There's a lot in history I wouldn't have wished on anyone. The difference in 1939 was that it was all done with very good intentions. Nobody realised the psychological damage it could cause.
My life has been happy enough, and I'm perfectly content with where I am now, though I do sometimes wonder what path I would have taken if I hadn't grown up in the war years, with all that that involved. I wouldn't have learned distrust when I was five, that's for sure!
