During WW2, when your parents were kids, did your parents have to wear

Did they have to wear Tags on a string around their neck that had their name and address on them every day when they went to school?

My mom did. Everyone in Saint John did. Kids anyways

Dad was in labor prison camp. Mom was somewhere between Germany and Romania, during the whole war. She had her own horror story.

Clothes, my father told me, where a problem for most people, even before WWII. Pretty much rags, as he told me.

Both parents were born in 1920 in either then Czechoslovakia or Romania.

All my half siblings were born there as well, between those same countries. Each in a different country. Mom was of the roma, ie gypsy's.
