This book is a diary of the events in Indonesia at the beginning of World War II as seen through the eyes of a nine-year-old Dutch girl. It describes events not much talked or studied about when dealing with WWII. There are many stories and studies that deal with the German concentration camps and the Holocaust in Europe. This is a story of the other concentration camps across the Far East and specifically the occupation by the Japanese of the Dutch East Indies. The author describes her experiences leading up to her incarceration in some of these concentration camps as well as her relationships with her family and friends .The period covered is between 1941 and 1945. It is a moving story, akin to The Diary of Anne Frank that took place in Holland, but in this case, the story is set in the Dutch East Indies. It is remarkable in its vivid description of the events and in the sharpness of her memories that took place some sixty years ago.
Follow the story of Private Neville Carson and his experience in the Middle East during World War II. Using his camera, which he was prohibited from having, Neville was able to depict and tell a story of his experience in the Australian army. This enabled the 19-year-old private to focus on the adventure of his deployment rather than its harsher realities. Told from the perspective of a normal young man, this story highlights the life-changing impact that the war had on even the most ordinary of lives. Such a detailed insight into a first-hand experience of the war, allows for a greater understanding of what soldiers were subject to during such difficult times in history. | Author: Diane Tuppack | Publisher: Olympia Publishers | Publication Date: Jan 26, 2023 | Number of Pages: 72 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 1788309995 | ISBN-13: 9781788309998
