Today, few can comprehend what it was like to live through the Great Depression. Grinding poverty meant that many children had to work. Childhood was a luxury. Despite this, the Depression Generation did not become hard and bitter. Overall, they were a generous and relatively socially cohesive group.

This book is a collection of interviews with people who grew up through the Depression - men and women, urban and rural, Australian born and migrant.
