With the unemployment rates reaching nearly as high as it has ever been before, women were struggling to find reasonable jobs. The demand for teachers, sales persons, telephone operators, nurses, social workers, file clerks, and secretaries has shot up through the roof, and are now the most popular jobs for women during these early years of the 1940’s. There have been a very low amount of worries for the men, for most of them are in the war, and they are leaving behind their wives and their children, leaving the wives to find work for themselves.
With the need of jobs rising from the women population, they are going into factories such as FORDE, and CAROUSEL making new inventions, bombs and aircraft parts to send over to the war.

Atomic Bomb—Soviet Union (SU):

At a remote test site at Semipalatinsk in Kazakhstan, the USSR successfully detonates its first atomic bomb, the secret and or code name is "First Lightning." In order to measure the effects of the blast, the Soviet scientists constructed buildings, bridges, and other civilian structures in the vicinity of the bomb. They also placed animals in cages nearby so that they could test the effects of nuclear radiation on human-like mammals. The atomic explosion, which at 20 kilotons was roughly similar to "Trinity," the first U.S. atomic explosion, destroyed those structures and burned the ashes of the animals. Meaning that the animal’s ashes were burned, and the buildings and other structures built by scientists to test the bomb were also destroyed. The long term effect of this bomb, and or the rough side of this new invention is that once used you can’t take it back. Many others will start making these bombs and wrecking everything within miles of the bomb’s explosion.

Holokauston Newspaper

Advice Column:



Dear Emma,

I completely understand where you are coming from with your situation, of your loneliness without your husband with you. Many people are in the same place that you are with your husbands and loved ones out at war, leaving behind a silent absence. I personally know exactly what you are going through because my husband is out in war too. It’s very hard not being able to wake up with him beside you or to just simply feel the comfort of knowing that he was safe in his office at his work location. Now that he is gone and not in his office, I feel this sudden urge come over me, this sudden feeling of despair and solitude. I miss feeling comforted, too.

So just know that you aren’t alone. What I would suggest doing is to find something that you love to do, and put all of your sadness into that. Maybe Baseball, maybe factory work, whatever is helpful to you and to others. Find that place where you feel empty the most… and fill it!
