In 1940 London, under nightly German bombardment, children are freighted
to safer regions, often against their will. BLITZ (Apple) is historical fiction from black writer-director Steve McQueen. Though I accept his faithful depiction of the time, I found his story only mildly engaging. Somewhat recommended.

My aunt was born in October 1940 (in Hull, UK) so was evacuated
northwards and later adopted out to Canada in the immediate post war
period. In recent years she has reconnected with her birth family but
don't know whether her mother was still alive by then. That was the
case of a lot of UK kids in the 1945-50 era.

How was she not restored to her birth family after the war (I ask naively)?
