[Mase]

I wonder if this same survivor every read or heard any eyewitness accounts of the horrors that went on during the Bataan death march, or in Nanking, or the Changi prison camp, or Pearl Harbor or so many other places where atrocities were inflicted on innocents by Imperial Japan.

If so, he might better understand why Hiroshima happened in the first place, and why the Japanese reaped what they sowed.

Devil’s Island..

on my home town cenotaph in New Zealand there is a name of a young soldier who was a POW of the Japanese and beheaded..

I don’t remember if he was the one who escaped or he was murdered because someone else escaped but when anybody managed to the Japanese would behead 10 of the other prisoners...

As children and Brownies/Wolf Cubs, we stood at the cenotaph and read his name and told his story to each other on ANZAC DAY, April 25, and shuddered at the horror of his death..
