When you write, you use your empathy to feel what it would be like to go through difficult times and what it takes to survive them. You are able to display the psychological characteristics of your characters, and their behavioral traits. You develop the ability to understand and share the feelings of your characters.
If you do a good job your characters have characteristics that are consistently demonstrated in spite of their changing circumstances.

“I wipe tears from my eyes as thousands of boots march away to war.”

An excerpt from “Trouble and Strife,” by Johanne Levesque

I watch the boys as they stand at attention while the Sergeant recites what General Currie told the Canadian Soldiers at the front in 1918: “Under the orders of your devoted officers in the coming battle, you will advance or fall where you stand, facing the enemy.

Johanne’s Quotes

“Who wants to become a writer? And why? ... It's the streaming reason for living. To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower of life, even if it's a cactus.”
― Enid Bagnold

I just wanted to let you know I finished your book and loved the history and love story and felt so bad for Josephine (and Evelyn). I really felt like I was in the 1930s so well done!
