Relative Strangers is the untold story of wartime evacuation, in which historian Julie Summers looks at what happened to the children evacuated in wartime Britain when they came home. Using documentary evidence compiled after the war and recent interviews, she reveals a rich picture of how the children who returned from the country, from America and from all over the Commonwealth fared in the aftermath. She will talk about the surprises encountered along the way and some of the pitfalls of oral history.
