I am travelling to these grave sites on wednesday to specifically visit my great uncle who is buried there after being a prisoner of war on the Burma Railway & died of malnutrition, otherwise known as Beriberi disease, our family have no resentment toward the Japanese of today.
My great Uncle worked on the Burma Railway and survived , he never talked about it , He hated the Japanese as did many at the time. The Japanese were ruthless and very cruel to prisoners. Thank god the war ended when it did . I know that surviving Japanese soldiers from that time are sorry for what they did . War is hell it always has been and it allways will be.Lets all try to get along.
My grandmothers husband died building that god damn railway. Dutch POW! My grandmother and her whole family were put in Jap-camps in Indonesia. Fuck Japan!
The wold must newer forget that cruelty that happened that time on building this railway. And wee must newer let it happen again.
Wee can not blame the Japanese of today. They are not too blame.
But wee can blame a system and a belief that could let such a system function.
Wee can blame the Japanese war industry for these cruelties.
Let it newer, newer happen again....
