Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this moving memoir a young man comes of age in an age of violence, brutality, and war. Recounting his experiences during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, this account brings to life the shocking day-to-day conditions in a Japanese labor camp and provides an intimate look at the collapse of Dutch colonial rule. As a boy growing up on the island of Java, John Stutterheim spent hours exploring his exotic surroundings, taking walks with his younger brother and dachshund along winding jungle roads. His father, a government accountant, would grumble at the pro-German newspaper and from time to time entertain the family with his singing. It was a fairly typical life for a colonial family in the Dutch East Indies, and a peaceful and happy childhood for young John. But at the age of 14 it would all be irrevocably shattered by the Japanese invasion. With the surrender of Java in 1942, John’s father was taken prisoner. For over three years the family would not know if he was alive or dead. Soon thereafter, John, his younger brother, and his mother were imprisoned. A year later he and his brother were moved to a forced labor camp for boys, where they toiled under the fierce sun while disease and starvation slowly took their toll, all the while suspecting they would soon be killed. Throughout all of these travails, John kept a secret diary hidden in his handmade mattress, and his memories now offer a unique perspective on an often overlooked episode of World War II. What emerges is a compelling story of a young man caught up in the machinations of a global war—struggling to survive in the face of horrible brutality, struggling to care for his disease-wracked brother, and struggling to put his family back together. It is a story that must not be forgotten. |

The Future Mining Conference series has been a forum for communication between current and future industry leaders, technologists, scientists and engineers, mine executives, investors, government representatives, academics and all the other stakeholders. The conference aims to address innovations and opportunities to transfer scientific and technological developments from other disciplines into the minerals industry. It also intends to examine the human factors and skill needs for the future operations, identify possible blue-sky scenarios of 'Mining in the Future', strategies of mining education and research, novel mining systems and future commodities and directions. The main themes of the conference include automation; mine internet of things; mineral processing and beneficiation frontiers; sustainability; the future demands of critical and digital minerals, future skills; and new mining frontiers including space resources engineering. |
