(11,304 posts)who was from Italy and right before the war started her father had his own orchestra that played on the radio. He was a professional through and through. However, he wouldn't become a member of the fascist party. He lost his job. He had a very hard time. Try to make a living on principal. His family had hard times. Her brother was in the Navy so he helped provide money for his family. But he hated it. He didn't want to fight in a war. Anyway at the end of the war my mother and her dad had a glass of wine on hearing Mussolini was hung.
Yes your right it wasn't easy. But just think what it would be like if we had 9/11's all over the place. Bombs landing on your homes and not caring who lives in those homes. I don't know how people truly feel. Momma said if americans knew what it was like being bombed year in and year out for 4 yrs we would change our minds pretty quickly.
