My mother met a Chinese Catholic nun who wouldn't speak to Japanese nun. Mom asked her why. Chinese nun told my mom that when she was a little girl, she witnessed Japanese soldiers tossing many Chinese babies up on the air, and when babies' body was on the way down, Japanese soldiers pierced so many Chinese babies' body with a long samurai sword laughing at the same time as they were killing innocent Chinese babies. It traumatized her so much that she feared Japanese people until the day Chinese nun passed on. Japan should own up to their WWII crime and sincerely apologize to the victims instead of trying to cover up their crime by lying non-stop and fabricating the true history. The world is so sick of their continuous lies about their horrendous crimes.
Comfort Women is another Japanese effort to cover up and lie.
I'm Korean and I also learned from my grandparents that Japanese people would take pregnant Korean women and run experiments on them, or split their bellies open while they were still alive to see how much the fetus progressed every week in the "name of science". That's not even it- so many people were tortured in inhumane and unimaginably horrible ways by the Japanese. The Japanese people terrorized so many Asian countries and I think its astonishing how they have the audacity to deny history and call us liars when multiple Asian nations have living proof of the horrendous crimes that Japan committed. Japan should really learn from Germany, or else this might happen again.
I'm Filipino and my grandmother used to tell me that.
If only they would apologize, we would never hate the new Japanese generation (it's true), only the people who lived in the past and their Emperor. But the pathetic thing is they are not admitting it and acting all innocent, calling every one of these poor women liars & whores. Unbelievable
Bree Park I’m chinese and my grand parents told my mother the exact same thing about the pregnant women, the horrible tortures and also about the fact that they killed children and babies while forcing the parents to look at them massacring their sons and daughters as they did the contrary, killing parents in front of their child or raping.
Also, because they were hiding from the japanese soldiers, the conditions my grand parents lived in during WWII were so miserable that they are used to eat as much as babies does. It makes me so sick and It’s so atrocious that I can’t even believe they still didn’t gave any apologies about that.
The fact that my grand parent lived 8 years of their lifes in misery and fear makes me so mad, hope Japan will acknowledge its past and apology for what their WWII soldiers have done and for trying to hide everything for such a long time.
they did bad things too in Indonesia in the past, unforgettable memories
my grandma did the same, cutting hair short and dressed as a boy to avoid getting snatched to become comfort woman. History is far, but the realness never fade
89skc89 that’s good to hear. Thank god your grandma survived
Same! My grandma always tell me about her story.
My late grandma once told her story, she covered her body all over with cow shit so the Japanese disgusted and leave her alone. She lived in West Sumatra, Indonesia
Many Korea dealers who came closer to the military while grinning. Exploitation from the women. th-cam.com/video/R3mfU3yNvYc/w-d-xo.html Before and after the Korean War, are there any cases of Japan military reports from Korea soldiers and prostitutes to the United Nations Command center? th-cam.com/video/Vu6TBamZCao/w-d-xo.html Will you show us now? Nothing? Nobody? No one? th-cam.com/video/o6xCs9joyiU/w-d-xo.html Do you have a grudge against Korea scholars, teachers and ancestors who just lies to citizens? Yes, it is Korea culture that lasts from ancient times.
@@dusty7313 can you stop using translator? Your japanglish makes no sense
My grandmother was only 12 when she got married just simply bcs they were trying to prevent her from being snatched away by the japanese.
It’s better to get married then to be snatched by the Japanese and to be you know what by them
It's a shame her kids weren't interested on their own history. I ask my parents what their parents had to go through during WW2 because I find their stories to be interesting but also sad.
Same
I always hear my grandma stories
I wish i couldve heard my veteran great grandmother's story too but she passed away before i got interested and i have ten years to ask her questions but didnt :(
Me too. I always listen to my grandma stories.
The brothels in 1942 Singapore was operated by Korean traders. th-cam.com/video/1fGampvrKGE/w-d-xo.html Many Korea dealers who came closer to the military while grinning. Exploitation from the women
same as me..we can learn their lesson through history
Malaysia and other affected SEA countries need to fight for these comfort women along with South Korea . Until this day, the Japanese government hasn't publicly acknowledge and apologise to the victims. They only paid compensation to the South Korean victims which was unacceptable. No matter how hard their government tries to deny the incident, many know what they shamefully did.
The Japanese government has compensate two ship to Malaysia close case why bring this up
@@richardteh2936 do you actually thought by paying compensation can easily erase those monstrous things they had done to the women??? Get a grip
The last comfort woman of Korean nationality does not want any compensation. She said it clearly that she wants the Japanese gov to at least admit what had happened and stop spinning lies saying the comfort woman were doing prostitution ( getting good money and stuff) and with their own will( she was taken away at 14/15). She also said blaming the current gov or emperor is not the right thing. But she wants the current gov to admit to the crime, acknowledge the victims existence , apologise officially and move forward together.
@@qilanis1619 I didn't say that the government should pay them their compensation 😶
Jenn Beremas.. You are really despicable person who are trying to demonize contemporary nations based on propaganda..
I now feel sorry for my grandma. She was only 14 when WW2 started. She was almost found by the Japanese, and was hiding. I know this video was posted 1 year ago, but I’ll just share this.
Much love to your Grandma. Such a brave woman!'
Why is it so hard for them to apologize for what they've done?
Extreme Japanese pride, I guess. If you look at it, they took 2 nukes that wiped out millions of innocent Japanese peoples' lives before they surrendered.
@@pokelover95078 it's all about save face to Japan
They won't apologize because they are STILL doing it - except it is under a different name!
The USA colonized Japan, and Israel colonized USA. Every country today is a Feudal Kingdom, corporatized to prevent another Bastille Day. Witness Korean Airline, where the CEO's children all hold executive positions. If they do anything corrupt, they are shielded by the corporate veil. All colonies mirror their colonizers.
Because it's not current Japan's fault and they don't owe anyone an apology for something that the imperial military did in the 30s.
@@twistedbliss58 agreed
I don't know if this is true but the other name is called Jugun Ianfu. Japan too raid my country, Indonesia. And women joined Jugun Ianfu thinking that they would be fighting alongside them. But, what they didn't know is that these women were all assigned as sex workers. They work to fulfill the sex needs of the Japanese soldiers. Some of the girls were still 12-16 years old, I believed. When Japan left Indonesia, some the women never returned or even were banished from their villages for what they have done. My teacher were one of the people who make a social experiment on how the Jugun Iafu has effected these women. And the result is truly horrifying. When they heard the sound of soldiers' boot steps that was played on speaker, they freaked out. Like literally freaked out. They were trying to get out of the room and were screaming in panic. Some finally gave up and she took off her clothes and just sat there in the corner, curled up. Even years after it was all over, the terror is still there and you can imagine how they feel back then. If today they still remember the exact feeling and the trauma of it, how do they even able to cope with it back then? I'd rather kill myself than being a sex doll for men.
that is so sad.. im actually tearing up😭😭😭😭
jesseca38 fuck off
After bullying I developed severe anger issues, for the next 3 years of my life I kept fighting against myself in my head that I was eating shit during meals. During every moment of those 3 years I also kept fighting against myself in my head that the bullies were sodomizing me and my family members. As a result I couldn't concentrate during exams and classes.
I am still having self esteem issues 14 years on from the incident.
I went to army and didn't do some admin work due to voice in head and army people thought I was lazy and thus bullied me as well.
This is why I have zero sympathies, zero tolerance for bullies. I am 31 years old and don't even have a wife now, partly sabotaged due to bullying. I went to teach the bullies a lesson by cyberbullying/harassing them, the bullies were so "strong" until they went to call the police LOL, but like I mentioned above, I have zero regrets, because this belongs to extreme side effect case.
This is my first time heard about comfort women in Malaysia. I really need more of this
Must be really awkward if anyone knew the McDonald's they're eating at was built over a mass grave...
Switchback so i eat mc donalds (ps i've been there and i live at malaysia) is a grave!?😨😨😨😨 Wow
This video reminds me of my late grandma. She loves to tell us stories during Japanese era where she have to hide inside of tempayan whenever Japanese ppl came to her house. She also still remember the japanese national song and will sing it when we asked her to do so. I really miss her. 😢
Glad to hear that she lives on through all the stories you remember about her. Those are the kind of stories that stay with you forever.
Sound like my late grandma stories too dear. She and her siblings used to hide whenever the Japanese came to the village. I dearly miss her too.
Oh damn, I remember my grandma telking the same stories as well. They would hide underground just so the japanese soldiers wouldnt find them. She lives until she was 83. :(
my grandmother and her little sister was hide in the chicken barn ... luckily she saved ..... scary experienced...
my mother told me about my grandma and her little sister hiding from Japan army when come to my mom's village in Tasikmalaya, Indonesia. They're hiding behind the wall, burned down every photo about them to make Japan army believe our family don't had any girls. Because my great grandma and grandpa was a teacher in Sekolah Rakyat, japan army not bring my great grandma back then. My grandma and great grandma was very lucky because the rest of other people lost their children and their wives to become jugun ianfu or romusha. Unfortunately my grandma and great grandma are passed away as a real witness who saw cruelness of Japan colonization. Many victim who become jugun ianfu and romusha passed away but they're never get any compensation or apologize from Japan Government properly.
My grandmother is chinese ,stay in west borneo ,she lucky japanese sholdier found her ,but told my grandmother to keep silent n he pas my grandmother , my grandmother still alive until now ,,
@@airinchan5102 which part of West Borneo is she from?
@@JayneBeremasBrooks it's called pontianak
@@timepickle8443 yes ,but just a little of them ..
If they were in group ,they cant deny the leaders order maybe , they had kidnap my grandfather n my great grandfather , becauce they have a kung fu , they can escape, and survive in the forest ..
Estelita Dy from the Philippines. She is an activist for comfort women fighting for their stories to be acknowledged as Japan continues to deny the atrocities they have committed to so many women.
I’m actually very surprised that Japanese didn’t realised what their ancestors did in WW2. The whole world experienced their cruelty and even my grandpa refused to visit Japan because of this.
This is god damn horrifying. I've always eaten at the McDonald's, now i won't be able to view Teluk Cempedak as it used to be...
i knoooowwww rghhttt
She escaped a horrible fate by dressing like a boy. I’ve seen Various videos in confront women and you can’t even wrap your mind around the horrible things they went through.
My great grandfather witnesses Japanese atrocities, my great grandfather almost killed by the Japanese, luckily his life was saved because the Filipino collaborator to the Japanese can't clearly pronounce his name, they accusing my great grandfather of being a traitor. He also witness those women that being made as comfort women, they choose girl who are beautiful in their eyes.
Traitor = Imposter ? Do you mean
My grandma is 89 years old and has gone through WWII and the Japanese occupation.
+im kysha Has she shared with you any of her memories or told you where she was during that time? If she'd like to share her story, you can email us at alltherage@thestar.com.my and we'll check it out :) Please enjoy and share the other episodes of The Last Survivors.
I am a korean. My deseaced grandmother has survived and wasn't tooken. Japan hasn't apoligize. They should at least if they have respect for other countriesm
We may forgive but never forget.
I studied Japanese history and even if only for 1 semester, I learned the great depths of what happened in WW11. Only a little research, and the truth is uncovered. How great the pain must be... they never mentioned comfort women in our history lessons (1st year university) but they covered serious topics also of forced conquer such as of okinawa and ainu. I know they also conquered korea at one point, and many other nations. They seeked power and became mad with greed. I think they have learned from their mistake yet if they do not apologise formally and sincerely, it is almost too late when all survivors die. They must do it soon to release their nation of so many negative energies. A highly spiritual lady I know has her third eye opened and she senses Japan has a massive suppressed/oppressed negative energy, with many many ghosts. They must- the Japanese government, hurry and apologise to free those spirits. Not just their samurai, but their own victims.
You are a gracious Lady.
Are u japanese?
very good interview, young people should know about these things so that they wont happen again.
Thank you for making this to our new generation 😭
Yes Japanese soldiers killing babies by tossing them and catching then with the end of their bayonets. Their bayonets has this spike at the end of it. Other Japanese who hold Samurais would practice them on civilians. Most of the elderly here does not want to talk about the Japanese because of trauma. They were very scared when they hear there's Japanese. Many of the elderly also went insane because of the mental and physical stress that happened to them. Most old people in my area dont like being asked about what happened during those times - too painful.
Glad the Japanese got bombed still need to confess and repent of their crimes terrible crimes!
Yes and today they try to pretend it never happened from what I read
Thanks for sharing this video! I’m currently in Tokyo and watching this kind of historical channel make me love my country even more. I miss Malaysia so much :’)
I think it's so sad that young people don't ask questions about WW2 or the forgotten victims these. In my teens, I developed a NEED to read all I could about Comfort Women after reading the book Fifty Years of Silence by Jan Ruff O'Herne. It's both an interesting and heart breaking subject.
It is sad, but perhaps we shouldn't blame young people. We live in an era when we are constantly bombarded with new information. That's why we, as journalists, have to play our part to make sure these "older" stories are given new life, so they won't be lost to the new generation.
My grandma told me she was taken to hide by her brother in the forest away from the Japanese soldiers when they came to her village.
thank you for making this video r.age
Most recently, Shinzo Abe and their Foreign Minister denied comfort women involvement by Japan again after last December Agreement. This was expected in South Korea as Japan done it in the past numerous times since 1965 agreement.
The world community is against Japan:
Support in the United States continues to grow, particularly after the United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121 was passed on July 30, 2007, asking the Japanese government to redress the situation and to teach the actual historical facts. In July 2012, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a strong advocate of the cause, denounced the use of the euphemism 'comfort women' for what should be referred to as 'enforced sex slaves'. The White House continues to express the need for Japan to do more to address the issue. In addition to calling attention to the issue, the American memorial statues erected in New Jersey in 2010 and California in 2013 show support for what has become an international cause.
On December 13, 2007, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on "Justice for the 'Comfort Women' (sex slaves in Asia before and during World War II)" calling on the Japanese government to apologies and accept legal responsibility for the coercion of young women into sexual slavery before and during WWII.
In 2014, Pope Francis met with seven former comfort women in South Korea. Also in 2014, the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination called for Japan to, as the Committee's deputy head Anastasia Crickley put it, "conclude investigations into the violations of the rights of ‘comfort women’ by the military and to bring to justice those responsible and to pursue a comprehensive and lasting resolution to these issues.” U.N. Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay had also spoken out in support of comfort women several times.
this is bull. US dont bother with issues that isn't communism or terrorism. we could say they passed a bill or watever but its just an act to show they care. anyways, its not US obligation. we, Chinese, will exact revenge upon them. just a little more time and we will overcome the barricade knows as US
I'm a Kuantanese and there's a some sort of fortress near masjid hidayah nearing paya besar and there's a grave near SK Permatang Badak. They say that small fortress belong to Japanese and the grave is of a victim of Japanese soldier cruealty.. i thought it was just a bullshit but seeing as that aunty telling us that story of kuantan, I'm shook..
During the occupation, my mom was just a little girl. My grandfather, he is a man who learned language by hearing, so during the occupation, he learned japanese. The japanese are nicer to him since he could understand them. There's an occasion where he smuggled out his Chinese friend in a hollowed Balak tree trunk to escape from the Japanese. Unfortunately, he already died 15 years ago
When I ask my grandma about this, she never tell me anything saying its beyond my imagination. I cannot imagine what these brave ladies is going through at those times😢😭😭
黑天鹅维多利亚 Sadly, that’s what war can do to survivors. May we all never have to go through it again.
*Of course, this is the type of videos that TH-cam never recommends*
To all who may come across this video,
I am her great grand niece!
I didn't know this video existed until now.
I am here to testify that yes what she said was true and I am glad she was interviewed with the other war survivors!
Her husband (my late great grand uncle) was close with my late grandfather and they all went through hell during the war and I am glad that they shared some stories with me.
One of them was that my great grandfather was arrested because the Japanese suspected that he was working with the Chinese to plot against them. Also, he was English educated like the rest of my family which was a massive red flag. But somehow they cleared him and he returned home safely which was a miracle.
I am very glad people are coming across this video and sharing their own family's stories too. Stay safe!
I can't look at Teluk Cempedak the same way anymore...I wish our government could dig up those corpse and give proper burial...
Thank you to your great grand auntie for sharing her stories...so many survivors and victims from other countries have speak up 😢
Wow! You must be SO extremely proud of her courage to come forth and tell her story like this. It must break your heart for all she has been through knowing how bad she suffered.
Thank you madam for sharing your experience during the Japanese Occupation. The younger generation should read and understand the hardships their forefathers have gone through. I hope students or historians will document these information for the future generation to study.
When my mother was alive, she used to relate some of the incidents she had personally seen. She was 13 years old then and her twin sister almost got killed during the fight between the Allied forces and the Japanese army in Kampar. A shrapnel flew from a bomb about 1 feet over my mother's sister head while she at the same time falling to the ground.
Japanese used to bathe naked in open areas and they don't feel ashamed at all.
One of the method of torture, she said was they heat up the brick and place them on the chest of the person and continue this torture till they die.
Thank you for preserving these stories. Sadly it was ever thus....
wow. reading the comments made me realized..there are some young generations still care about the history, how we were colonized by then. my grandma was 13 when Japanese armies came into Malaya and she was hid under ground, her father dig a huge hole to let her hid,life was just so hard back then. they didn't even had any food, bananas,tapiocas, anything.. were all demolished by them.
Beautiful video.. thank you for sharing her story.
And we are honoured to have been given the chance to tell her story.
thanks guys...
Evil has no nationality.
thank you.
i heard the same thing from my late grandma, she was forced to dress up as a boy to avoid getting caught be the japanese
Thumbs up, Team. Awesome piece of documentary.
I am amazed the passion you guys have to come up with this clip. Very well documented and informative for the younger generations to know what had happened to their ancestor.
Well done guys!
The Japanese soldiers used to force my mum ( a little kid during the Japanese Occupation of Kuching Sarawak) to say Banzai (万 岁) which in our Hokkien dialect means Go Shit. So my mum and her siblings saluted the emperor but were giggling behind the Japanese’s back
I just found out from my grandma that she also dressed up as a boy when she was very young :( like primary school age. Its so heart breaking.
this is very well done. work to be proud of :)
My grandma and grand aunties told me the same thing too -- that they had to chop off their hair and were dressed up as boys to avoid being taken away by Japanese soldiers or Japanese moles. Yes, the Japanese would go around asking for "gu niang"! I don't hate the Japanese for their war crimes but it doesn't mean that the atrocities that they had committed during WWII should be forgotten!
When my grandma was 10 years old, she was forced by her mother to cut her hair and put some mud in her face so that the Japanese soldier couldn't recognize her.
She is lucky with her life.
I just found out today of what took place in Teluk Cempedak... how it looks like today... i wish there at least a memorial there... i was there last year november (2022)... TC is indeed 1 of the best and cleanest beach i been in Semenanjung Malaysia... but getting to know the story only today... i am so sorry... i wish younger generation would at least know about this. This is the history that won't get mentioned in our History syllabus.
My grandmother is Chinese, and my greatgrandma left her with malay family when war broke. I wonder if this is the reason why she did what she did. Im melayu by the way. My grandmother married into that malay family she was left into.
One day these women will receive the apology and acknowledgement they deserve. Japan cannot hide the truth forever.
Maybe, maybe not. After the 1st bomb dropped on Hiroshima, the Allies demanded surrender, their reply? I don't remember the term, but it means to 'answer with silence', This answer caused the second bomb to be dropped on Nagasaki. Psychologically, the Germans were a nation of obedience, so when they were ordered, they obeyed. Not right, but it is what it is. And the Japanese 80-90 years ago were brainwashed to believe the Emperor was God, if God asks you to do something you do it. But the Soldiers in Asia gave Bloodlust Barbarity a new meaning. No one was was without blame, all nations did bad things. The US, Russa, England, Germany, Italy, Japan...there are Killing Fields all over the world. Doesn't say much for the survival of man, does it.
My grandmother still remembers the times she hides from the japanese. still young and pregnant with her first kid.
Well done.
Thanks!
So sad that all this and more happened in the war. Wish the young people realize how it is to remember and not forget. That they need to make sure it does happen again.
God bless you..
My grandma is half Japanese and half Chinese, during the war, her adopted parents had to send her and my great aunts away to hide them away from the Japanese
Wait. Do the corpse still under the macdonald in cempedak? Someone should dig the bodies. One, it can be a strong evidence about Japan military war crimes in the past. Two, I don't think it's appropriate for people to eat burger on top of corpses...we should give a proper burial.
I can sit and hear her stories all day. She seem sweet......
wahh seriously they never ask ?? when my late grandpa still alive.. ilove to ask him his experience during war time.. i will keep asking him almost everyday.. i still small that time.. but i feel like the one who survive was a miracle
my grandma also had a similar story to this, it's disgusting
My great grandmother also do that
It's so sad to know that this generation now doesn't care about the history of Japanese WW2 and the fact that I was never taught or told this when I was in school really sucks cause this is a very big part of history and people are acting like it never happened 💔😔 I just hope the men woman and children back then find peace
this deserve mroe likes and views
My granmother born in 1918 she past wolrd war but she died in 2015 when she was 97
I am Malaysian and I did not learn about this in history,not at all..this is honestly shocking to me.Why are these hidden?
ask their old government (if they r still alive) why this sad history was hidden to their new generation and what they have done to many people especially women in Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea, China and etc.
Seagull The Meme Lord The Japan government is trying to cover up
Thank you,none of these were mentioned in the school history textbook.There are not mentions of it even from primary school..
parkjihoon I don't know man,we learn basic things like how our country advances to independency,we learned about the past civilization,we also learned about world war but this? About what Japan did? Not that deep.
Actually....these were taught in our school. Only thing is that it was very brief and not as detailed. I am not sure if you guys are still using the same text book but.....read i guess?
Auntie Teo, pls come back to our condominium.Heard from Kak Dilla that u hv moved to Klang to ur daughter's place since Uncle Teo's condition worsened. We miss you. FYI, my mama is bedridden now. She has asked for you a few time when I visit her in Klang recently. Auntie Teo, I will always remember how my mother and you were colleagues in Klang dental clinic being very good and kind nurses. And by god's will, we happen tp live in the same condominium.May Allah bless both Uncle Teo and you.
Russia was the one who suffered the most during ww2 (20+ million dead) but thier aging victims of the war does not held a personal grudge againts Germany today that should tell you how Germany fix its past mistakes.
Germany even asked Japan to speak about what they did but all Japan do is hide and lie. They are living in denial which is very saddening.
Japan government very denial about their past history. Just asked about WW2. Every information about it was very limited even they're still got a pride and very chauvinistic about the war that makes many country in asia like Chinese republic, Philippines, Indonesia, Korea etc suffer. They're had a Shrine to mourn war crimes who responsible in WW2.
Hmm, It's not like Germany had been very open about their crimes and have literally outlawed every thing related to Nazism or something
my late grandmother told us that japanese soldiers have them lined up in a circle in a plaza in Tanauan, Leyte and babies were also tossed up the air and catched then with their bayonets/swords that's the reason why they escaped to Marabut SAmar and changed their surname from Cinco to Tanauan as they came from Tanauan, Leyte
I am from Malaysia.I also see a few about history of Malaya since the Japanese occupied it.Seeing many surviving survivor of ww2 that they have to witness the horror of war in their past . But I also respect to the veterans that help and defend and also fight back and derived the Japanese out of Malaya and given the bright future for the new generations.
Tried read oka rusmini book, she describe Japan soldier in Bali
Philippines: Do you remember you Colonize us?
Japan: who are you?
l like it very much
Japan is a wonderful great country but they need to apologies and acknowledge what they have done. No one blames the Japanese of today for what they anestors did but even then they won't say sorry. I think its so insensitive and cruel of them to just dismiss it like it was nothing when the survivors are still suffering after so many years. The international community has to put more pressure on Japan to admit their wrongdoings and apologies to the victims and countries.
Clever brave lady
My late grandma told me when they were younger she hid in a plantation to hid from the Japanese.
These women were NOT prostitutes, they were sex slaves and many women now labeled as prostitutes are not. It is the men who deserve despicable titles for the things they have done.
My maternal grandma was a chinese but she was growing in malay family though her twin brother wasn't. I'm not sure if this is because of what happen during WWII as i never had a chance to see her as she died before i exist. Both my paternal and maternal grandparents were already gone so I don't have the chance to know about their golden history.
My grandma was 3 at the time. I believe my ancestors were fortunate being survivor from the japanese occupation
Not so Kawaii anymore.
give die Japan
I am the new Generation I knew very detail the horor of World War 2 , will never forget
So did my grandma n her daughters
I don’t think young people don’t care about the Japanese occupation. This stuff is really hard for old people to talk about. And yes, some young people are dumb and ignorant, but young people (especially men) know quite a bit about that time in history.
Yeah, my mom told me to avoid asking my grnadma WWII-related things for fear of offending her
I wantttt justice for themmmmm
hello can help me find sources for life youths under 21 during ww2
No joke, if you don't bow, they beat up the fellow and throw them into the drain.
Its not that me and my friends don't care , we are only 14 , we are still scared and we gather that even tho the old people look strong you can't just erase traumatic memories , i can say that my generation is pretty sensitive , i'm sorry if we seem like we don't care but rather we don't have the courage to ask nor do we have the heart to see our grandparents/great grandparents trying to stay strong , don't get me wrong , i'm curious , but if my curiousity causes others pain i'd rather stay curious and find out eventually
Your federation is f up
I heard that Japan blocked this past in the Japan schools history
Japan fucker
inot like Japan come singapore
My grandmother had to flee to far west of China to escape the Japanese. She was about 7 when they invade
Remember how Japanese are not talking much about their Nuclear incident in 2012? They lie so much and let people live in those places with high radioactivity. I understand that they lost lot of parts of ocean for radioactivity radiation, which was swept in Ocean, unlike Chernobyl incident, which's radioactive susbtance was mainly on land, the radioactivity in ocean will take way longer to subside.
I simply like and dislike things about Japan, but not every country has their clean dough in their bags. Even as finnish person I know what cruelties my country and other countries did. Our civil war right after independence day, when communism and democracy parties crashed with indifferences. That is the truth, and we know it. Lot of women were raped, men slaughtered and it was horrible time. I hope Japan eventually learns to stop this "losing face" thing, as well as other countries, and try to ask help for real. You cannot always do everything alone.
KL?
I,m Malaysia I born in 1970 -_-
I heard my grandma had to hide in drains to avoid being seen. Had she been spotted which thankfully she wasn't, this comment wouldn't have been typed.
😰 amazing story
May I ask the word "gu niang" come from which language because I can certain it is not Japanese.
Rose Michaelis It’s chinese. Which mean “young women.”

Japan got die
my grandmother had to hide at the beach with her family when the japanese invaded. one of her friends hid at her own house and the japanese bombed the house :(
The treaty normalized relations between Japan and South Korea for the first time since the end of the war.
The countries solved the compensation issue with "economic cooperation" consisting of $300 million in grants and $200 million in loans.
The package was 1.6 times the size of South Korea's annual national budget at the time.
The government used this money to build highways, a dam, and an iron mill.
After this, the countries acknowledged it was now the South Korean government's responsibility to pay individual citizens for colonial-era damages.
What are you trying to say bitch? This is a video about Malaysia, not South Korea
Well not all young generation doesn't care..some of them really care..We study the history and built better future and we also know the pain of our ancestors lifestyle during Japanese WWll
That's very true! After we launched this project, we had many young people from across the country sending in stories from their grandparents. We've compiled them all at rage.my/lastsurvivors.
