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. 410 0$aWorld War II--the global, human, and ethical dimension. 606 $aPrisoners of war$zIndonesia$zJava$vDiaries 606 $aBoys$zIndonesia$zJava$vDiaries 606 $aDutch$zIndonesia$zJava$vDiaries 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$vPersonal narratives, Dutch 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$vPersonal narratives, Indonesian 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xConcentration camps$zIndonesia$zJava 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPrisoners and prisons, Japanese 607 $aJava (Indonesia)$vBiography 615 0$aPrisoners of war 615 0$aBoys 615 0$aDutch 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xConcentration camps 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPrisoners and prisons, Japanese. 676 $a940.5317 686 $a15.75$2bcl 700 $aStutterheim$b John K.$f1928-$01800381 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969429903321 996 $aThe diary of prisoner 17326$94345141 997 $aUNINA
