Kumpulana

Memories of Dutch-Canadian Survivors of Japanese Prison Camps During World War II

compiled & edited by Ria Koster

Version 1.1
Uploaded: 2021–03–01

This book is a collection of memories of people who lived in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) when the Japanese invaded their country. Whether interned as POWs or as civilians, most spent several years (from 1942 to 1945) in Japanese concentration camps located in Indonesia, Burma (now Myanmar) or in Japan itself, and in many cases their ordeal included forced labour and torture, not to mention starvation and the resulting malnutrition and disease.

The original collection of these stories was first published in the limited edition book Kumpulana (2005) to coincide with the 60th anniversary of VJ-Day. This compilation is certainly of importance in and of itself to researchers of the history of the war in the Pacific, but the greatest personal significance has naturally been more for the survivors themselves, so that they may know that their stories will live on.
