Santo Tomas Prisoners Liberated; FDR on Yalta 1945/3/1

[Badger6052]

I knew a fellow, Edgar Kneedler, who was interred at Santo Tomas. His family - the Kneedlers - constructed the first concrete building in Manila, as well as the Bay View Park Hotel. Edgar spent the war in that camp from about early 1943 on; he did succeed in getting his parents out on the Gripsholm in Nov. 1943.

The women and children could have been evacuated, but FDR wanted them captured hopeing that the citizens would be for the war for sure, that is how insecure he was.
