Arthur Troness 1919-2008
In this fifth clip, Art talks about getting moved from from the Philippines to a camp in Japan.

American POW - captured after the Philippines fell to the Japanese, and spent 3 1/2 years in prison camps in the Philippines and Japan.
His daughter, Becky Williams, filmed her father as he recounted his experiences. This was done for the benefit of middle school students in St. Clair, Minn. Therefore, he gave a very sanitized, G-rated version of his experiences
