The Germans like to smash words together. Here’s one I think about often as it applied to my grandmother when she grew up in Lübeck: Trümmerkinder
“Kids of the rubble” – children growing up in bombed out cities.
I think about rubble kids a lot, these days.
Somewhat related to the Trümmerkinder thought: one of the current fascist party in Germany's talking points are the "memorials" for the victims of the bombings 80 years ago. Bombing people might win you a war today, but you can't bomb your way to peace.
