Although it's written as a report of facts you can read it like a great poem. Although only a small and special (and special terrible) segment of WWII-History (seen from 'bottom-up'-view), it's a song about the darkness, the terror, but also the lights of the human existence generally. One of the most important books of my life (I'm 73).
People are simply expendable. They have been so throughout the entire history of mankind, probably ever since one group of cave men came upon another and decided they liked their cave better than their own, and so they killed the dwellers or captured them and made slaves of them or ate them. I wonder how many millions of people have been the pawns of kings, nabobs, dictators, pharaohs, tyrants, tsars, caliphs and so-called "elected officials?" And isn't it ironic that in almost all cases, the people calling for the invasions and large-scale murders of human beings never put their own selves in harm's way, but send others out to do their bidding?It will never end.Jan Ruff O'Herne's story was a poignant tale of how her colonial Dutch family in Java was broken up and sent off to a prison camp by the invading Japanese. We've often heard of the atrocities suffered by Allied service men captured and sent into Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, but I think that most of us have not heard of these hundreds of women taken into forced bondage and sexual slavery.O'Herne's account was heart-breaking. I can't say it can be compared to the atrocities of the Nazis, but I think that anyone living a free and comfortable life, who is suddenly torn from family and home, and sent to live under restricted, savage conditions, where food and even the simplest of creature comforts, such as a bar of soap, are denied, goes through a hell that most of us will never understand. And then to be torn from mother and sisters and sent far away to another camp to be sexually abused over and over again, daytime and nighttime, is a horror that should never be forced upon a woman.O'Herne talks freely and openly about how her very strong Catholic faith got her through her ordeal. I am an agnostic, so I tended to look at her faith from the point of view that it didn't do squat to ameliorate one single day of her suffering, but perhaps, the fact that she survived, and fifty years later became a spokeswoman for all women raped during war, and was in part responsible for getting the international recognition that rape of women would be considered a war crime, and prosecutable as such, was her vindication in her faith. (It would strike me odd, though, that her god would require thousands of women to suffer extreme brutality and humiliation, pain and torture, in order to prevent this in the future... but then again I tend to see religion as a crutch instead of a cure). Despite my personal non-belief, I admired Miss O'Herne for hers. She never gave up the belief that if she trusted in God enough, she would survive. So while her prayers to spare her from constantly being raped were not answered, at least her prayers to survive were.This was a good story. Other reviewers have almost insinuated that Miss O'Herne does not really deserve sympathy, because her family were the Dutch colonial overlords in Java, and the Dutch did absolutely nothing for the Java people but enslave them as servants and did nothing to improve their living conditions. In this book the author made several references to their Javanese servants, calling them by name and speaking highly and warmly of them. Whether that was truly the case, or whether is was done to mitigate the Dutch colonial system, who knows? But that should not be an issue here. That subject can be addressed in other books. What IS the issue here is this particular woman and her family, and the atrocities they suffered at the hands of the Japanese.I would have given this book five stars, except the writing was sometimes just a bit erratic. Sometimes going back and forth between time frames which didn't allow for as smooth a narrative as it could have been. But in the final analysis, this is definitely a book worth reading. It's not terribly long, but each word counts. There are no long, meandering passages which don't relate directly to the topic. Each word is judiciously and expeditiously used to tell her story. The photos at the end of the book were an added bonus. How she managed to hang on to them while being sent to a prisoner of war camp for over three years is incredible.I would most definitely recommend this book. I sort of judge books by my "anticipation factor." The only time I have to read is when I crawl into bed at night. I either anticipate curling up with a particular book, or I look forward to it's rapid conclusion so I can move onto something more interesting. This book was definitely in the first category. I looked forward to getting back to the story, because I felt "invested" and drawn to Jan and her family. And thank you, Jan, for sharing your story with the world. Being silent for fifty years is a long time to allow wounds to fester. Exposing them to the light really does help them to heal.
Teenage Jan was enjoying a happy and innocent life in Indonesia when she and her family found themselves in the path of the invading Japanese. We often read about the violence and horror the men at the battleground must endure. However, the atrocities, outrages, and and deprivation suffered by the innocent women and civilians at the hands of their captors is less often addressed. Though almost helpless, Jan fought her own battle against the invading Japanese, as bravely as any soldier. Still, she was victimized again when her own people (including the Catholic Church) who should have offered her empathy and understanding, instead rejected her, and turned their back on her. Thank goodness Jan broke her silence after all these decades so the world can more fully appreciate the brutality the Japanese wrought on their innocent victims. It is inspiring that Jan did not allow her emotional scars define her life, but was eventually able to turn her efforts to empathy and advocacy for her fellow victims, and became an ambassador for awareness of wartime sexual violence.
Very well written. Never knew what went on in these internment camps. My dad would tell me about some of the experiences that he went through being interned himself by the Japanese. He was in the Dutch army at that time. His first wife, perished in one of the camps along with a very young daughter. My half sister.It's true that the women did not want to talk about that time in their lives. It was a very depressing, sad time.I recommend this book for everyone, especially those who had family members that went through this awful period in their lives. Very painful to even remember, let alone to talk about it.
This is a very moving memoir of a young woman who, along with her family, was sent to a prison camp when the Japanese army invaded Indonesia. Along with nine other young women, she was sent to live and work in a brothel, where she was abused and raped repeatedly.I had a hard time reading parts of this book, it was so heart-breaking. This woman, and many like her suffered so much at the hands of the Japanese army. But her faith sustained her and kept her strong.I've read many stories of WWII from different perspectives, but this was a new view for me. It is a poignant and moving story of faith and survival, forgiveness and, ultimately overcoming a terrible past. Recommended reading.
An excellent look into an area of history that until recently has been hidden. Our book club had an interesting discussion about the use of "comfort women" throughout history and how Japanese culture vs Western culture views this. We wondered how many women from various cultures recovered from the way they were treated.
