Morning Comes and Also the Night: A Story of Courage and Survival in Japanese Internment Camps of North Sumatra

Morning Comes and Also the Night: A Story of Courage and Survival in Japanese Internment Camps of North Sumatra

by Marijcke Jongbloed (Author)

Synopsis

The chance discovery of a secret cache of letters rekindled Marijcke Jongbloed's lifelong fascination with the circumstances of her birth and her parents' wartime experiences. The letters were written in captivity by her father and smuggled through Japanese controls to her mother in a different internment camp in Indonesia. Sixty-five years later, they form the basis of a fascinating and moving insight into survival under the cruel conditions of a distant and frequently ignored part of the Second World War.
