Tromp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver 75 years have passed since World War Two ended in the Pacific, none too soon for those interned in Japanese prison and labour camps. In this book survivors -many of who were children- relate of their Despair and Hope in those camps in the 1940s Dutch East Indies and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"... the recollections -some faded, others painfully detailed- of young adults and children, who somehow survived Japanese prison camps in the former Dutch East Indies and now have grown old themselves. They are the last generation to remember those awful events. Those who make the effort to immerse themselves in these stories will gain a deeper understanding of what human beings are capable of, in terms of both cruelty and heroism.\" - William Boei, Vancouver Sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"These simply told and extra-ordinarily gripping stories from 26 heretofore silent young survivors of Japanese internment camps in the former Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) give voice to the incredibly life-affirming spirit that sustained them and their elders in those horrific places. A splendid book -and of historical value, too- for those who don't know but want to, and for those who do know.\" - Ernest Hillen, teenage survivor of these camps and the author of 'The Way of a Boy: a Memoir of Java', and 'Small Mercies: a Boy after War'.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"A really good collection of memoirs. These stories provide a historical account that otherwise might be forgotten. The narrations are generally short and the stories not drawn out. They illustrate the tragedy but also the extreme tenacity of the people involved and the brutality of the Japanese captors. For those who lived through this period, as I did as a child in a Japanese prison camp (Tjiedeng) or those who have fathers or mothers that did, this book is particularly poignant.\" - Hans Coster\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback, 218 pages, timeline 1940-1946, illustrated, bibliography, glossary of foreign words, \u003cspan\u003ea Dutch Heritage and Indonesia-Dutch East Indies WWII history title, Join us promotion this heritage with sharing these stories with our TEN-PACK offer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vanderheide Publishing Co.
