Abstract

Meer dan 500 foto’s, voor het grootste deel nooit eerder gepubliceerd tonen de bevrijding van België in 1944. Treffende beschrijvingen vertellen over wat er toen gebeurde in de steden en de dorpen van Vlaanderen en Wallonië. Gedetailleerd en objectief licht de auteur toe wat zich waar voordeed. Het resultaat is een sprekende getuigenis van het laatste jaar van de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

Abstract

During his time as a POW, Frank "Foo" Fujita kept a diary of daily happenings, embellished with drawings of life in the camp. He secreted the diary in the walls of his barracks, as the practice was forbidden. That diary forms the basis of these memoirs. Fujita's memoirs are also unique in that he was one of the fewer than nine hundred Americans taken prisoner on the island of Java. The bulk of American POWs in Japanese hands surrendered in the Philippines, and most of the published POW memoirs reflect their experience. Fujita's account of the defense of Java and of the fate of the "Lost Battalion" of Texas artillerymen serves to distinguish this memoir from others. At one point while a POW in Japan, Fujita was forced to be part of the Japanese radio group broadcasting propaganda. After the war, he testified at some of the war crime trials in San Francisco, and the diary on which this book is based was used as evidence in those trials.
