I am writing the life story of a fascinating lady who endured one of the worst Japanese prisoner-of-war camps in Indonesia during World War 11.
During my research I was able to discover that her camp commandant was recognised as being a real sadist. He was tried for war crimes and found guilty. I discovered how he appealed his sentence and this appeal went before a judge - coincidentally whose wife had also been held in the same terrible camp where so many women and children died. His appeal, understandably, was rejected and the commandant was executed by firing squad. Her stories make incredible reading and I feel so privileged to be able to write her life story so her experiences will be able to be treasured by her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren as well as future generations to come.
