After talking to my parents and asking them what was going on in their life or their parents life during world war two, they did not have much to say about it. My mothers grandparents lived in a small town in Mexico. They lived their lives as farmers. They planted and sold bananas. My father on the other hand, doesn't know much about his grandparents. The majority of my parent's close family members, including themselves, didn't attend school. The women would begin doing house work at a very young age. They would begin at even the age of 6. In the boy's cases, they would begin to go out into the field to pick whatever they planted, which in my father's case, was mostly corn.
Mexico was not involved with the second world war and so they were not affected by the war very much. My cousins and I are the first generation to grow up in the United States, so they did not have too much to worry about in those years.
