What happened to civilians during world war 2?

During World War II, civilians faced widespread suffering and devastation due to military conflicts, bombings, and occupation. Many were subjected to violence, forced displacement, and atrocities such as the Holocaust, where millions of Jews and other minorities were systematically exterminated. Additionally, cities across Europe and Asia were heavily bombed, leading to significant civilian casualties and destruction of infrastructure. The war also resulted in severe food shortages, economic hardship, and a dramatic loss of life, with civilians comprising a large portion of the overall casualties.
