My neighbor

"For 25 years I watched a lovely lady walk her dog in my neighborhood. We
always chatted but never became aquainted. One day, I realized I had not
seen her for awhile, so I went to her home, a couple blocks away. She
had fallen and no longer able to take her walks. I began to visit this
elderly couple and one day learned that she and her family had been in an
Indonesian prison camp during World War II.
I was stunned to learn that this amazing person had an amazing story.
I immediately ordered the book and the film."
An Amazing Record of Human Courage

"A very moving documentary record of a heroic band of women--Dutch, British, Australian Nurses and Eurasians--interned by the Japanese Army on Bangka Island and Sumatra Island in WWII--who were probably treated more harshly than any group of internees or prisoners-of-war in that conflict...in fact in conditions reminiscent of those who suffered under the holocaust in Europe."
