Over two million children had to leave their families during the war.
Explanation:
Operation Pied Piper began in the summer of 1939. More than 3 million children were evacuated from London and other cities in the first four days.
The evacuations were intended to safeguard the British children from the German air raids. Their parents stayed behind to work and also assist in the war.
It was recorded that the separations from their parents had long-term traumatic impact in many cases like as if they stayed back to face the bombs.
During the Second World bombing of London by the Nazi night raiders especially the eastern suburb of London made children from this area homeless, Operation Pied Piper was set up in order to spare children from this experience of bombing and planned to move 3.5 million children in three days which were intended to keep British children safe.
Bismillah Khan's first foreign trip took him to Afghanistan where King Zahir Shah was so impressed with the maestro's shehnai recital that he honoured him with gifts of priceless Persian carpets and other souvenirs.
