Number of comfort women

The Book of World War II has a long account on the number of comfort women. Lack of official documentation has made estimates of the total number of comfort women difficult, as vast amounts of material pertaining to matters related to war crimes and the war responsibility of the nation's highest leaders were destroyed on the orders of the Japanese government at the end of the war. Historians have arrived at various estimates by looking at surviving documentation which indicate the ratio of the number of soldiers in a particular area to the number of women, as well as looking at replacement rates of the women. Historian Yoshiaki Yoshimi, who conducted the first academic study on the topic which brought the issue out into the open, estimated the number to be between 50,000 and 200,000.

Based on these estimates, most international media sources quote about 200,000 young women were recruited or kidnapped by soldiers to serve in Japanese military brothels. The BBC quotes "200,000 to 300,000" and the International Commission of Jurists quotes "estimates of historians of 100,000 to 200,000 women."

After the war, a BC-level court martial brought to trial the Japanese military officials who forced the Dutch in the camps to be sent to comfort stations. The WW II story states of the 13 individuals accused in relation to the Semarang Incident, the Batavia Temporary Court Martial on February 14, 1948, sentenced Army Major Okada to death. Eleven others were sentenced to prison terms ranging from two to twenty years. Prosecutors did not succeed in convicting anybody in relation to the Muntilan case, which ended in acquittal.

Court records of the Semarang Incident have survived, and the Dutch Government commissioned a study of Dutch government documents on the forced prostitution of Dutch women at the Dutch East Indies under Japanese occupation. According to the published report , 200 to 300 Dutch women worked at Japanese military brothels, of which “some sixty five were most certainly forced into prostitution.” And that was the most pathetic situation in the Book of World War II.

Book of World War II

Book of World War II was an historic event that touched nearly every person alive during that time. What was it like to be one of the millions of soldiers who fought the battles? Or a civilian worker making the tanks and bombs? Or a child your age, either in Japanese death camps, Ambarawa Camp Seven? You can find out. There are still thousands of people alive today who were soldiers, civilians, or children during the Second World War, and who remember what they did and how they felt. Locate someone to interview about this extraordinary time. Then use the Writing Workshop to write and publish that person's oral history of WWI story in the Book of World War II.

WWII was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including all of the great powers, organised into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. The war involved the mobilisation of over 100 million military personnel, making it the most widespread war in history. In a state of "total war", the major participants placed their complete economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities at the service of the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Over 70 million people, the majority of them civilians, were killed, making it the deadliest conflict in human history.

The beginning of the war is generally held to be in September 1939 with the German invasion of Poland and subsequent declarations of war on Nazi Germany by the United Kingdom, France and the British Dominions. Amongst these main events are the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the start of Operation Barbarossa, and the attack on Pearl Harbor and British and Dutch colonies in South East Asia. Many belligerents entered the war before or after this date, during a period which spanned from 1937 to 1941, as a result of other events.

The United States and the Soviet Union emerged from the war as the world's leading powers. This set the stage for the Cold War, which lasted for the next 45 years. The United Nations was formed in the hope of preventing another such conflict. The self-determination spawned by the war accelerated decolonization movements in Asia and Africa, while Western Europe itself began moving toward integration. The detailed original account of a war victim is explained in the Book of World War II is explained through a Kids view WW II.

A reunion with my mother

It was a miracle and unexpected meeting with my mom after a long time gap in the WW II story tribulation. Against all odds my Mom found me among the thousand or so confused kids and old men shuffling and stumbling excitedly around. I was laying on my ‘cot’ the 4”x10” boards on the saw horses. I was sick as a dog, and simply too weak and miserable to move. All I had been able to do, when I first heard the loud commotion and some talk of surrender, was to drag myself in the direction of the front gate. I remember vaguely hearing some mention of a “really big bomb.” Honestly, I was too exhausted to care. All I wanted to just lie down and be left alone! Looking back, I frankly believe I had reached the end ; I had ‘run out of gas,‘ and it was time for me to give up.’

Yes, I believe I can say that I have some idea of how Anne Frank must have felt as a death camp slave. I believe I know how that dear young girl must have suffered in her final hours… Utterly, hopelessly alone… no one to care for her… no one to stroke her hair… without a touch of comfort… completely forsaken in a brutal World War II!

And this a heart melting tragic experience in the WWI story. Do words exist that can adequately describe how a ten-year-old kid feels, after having been separated for almost a year, to have his loving Mother gently hug him... of your dear, sweet mother’s tears drenching your face after such a long, bitter, hopeless, seemingly endless experience? I believe not… at least, I have not been able to find the words. When Mr. Ralph and Cathy Brink explain this uncomfortable tragic book of World War II of course it should an inspiration for the youngsters to thirst and do something for universal peace and harmony even in the midst of diversity of caste, creed, culture and language.

Torrents of suffering in the Ambarawa Camp Seven

The book of World War II still remains as an unforgettable partially cured wound even in the next generations thereafter. No one, in his wildest dreams, would have anticipated what was next in store for the death camp slaves. One must remember that with the dropping of the atom bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, WWII had come to a screeching halt. The Japanese soldiers capitulated and simply laid down their weapons. However, this immediately created a power vacuum in the far-flung islands. There were no Allied forces of any kind on the ground to stabilize the situation in Indonesia especially in the Indonesian death camps like Ambarawa Camp Seven etc; no governmental control, no organized police force; no system of justice. As could have been predicted, the situation quickly turned into deadly chaos.

This was the environment that the some 28,000 women, children, old men and the very sick in the Japanese death camps in Mid-Java faced. They were totally defenseless in camps of WW II that were surrounded by flimsy bamboo fencing, in an environment that quickly developed into total anarchy.

How did this come about? There were different entities that had their own ideas of what has to happen next, and as the saying goes: each group “had a different log in the fight.” This is what is explained from the heart by Mr. Ralph and Cathy Brink in the WWII story .

Japanese death camps, the boiling centers of cruelty

The WW II story which is explained in the book of World War II is mostly filled with lot of suffering aspects. We found in the last blog that many used to die every day in the Japanese death camps dues to various reasons. And the kids were the watchers of these corpses. The survivors had by then been reduced to mere walking corpses. Few of them were aware by this time that the Japanese military was under orders of Emperor Hirohito to annihilate all the European prisoners especially those who are in Indonesian death camps like Ambarawa Camp Seven etc. He intended to follow the Nazi example of simply exterminating unwanted human beings.

When we think about World War II, is it any wonder that the news of the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ghastly weapons as they were ever-so-welcome? The Allies had finally won this awfully cruel, bloody war! The prisoners in the Japanese concentration camps made a collective sigh of relief. Unless one has lived through their experiences, it is impossible to imagine what 3½ years of concentration-camp life was like. The Japanese death camps tore families apart, separated ten-year old kids from their mothers, whipped and tortured prisoners such as my sister Hortense, starved them en masse, and used their young daughters as ‘comfort women’ for their troops. The barbarous, unbridled cruelty was finally to come to a stop.

The cruelties towards the prisoners were so horrible. A great number of those interned had lost loved ones--husbands, wives, parents and children – in the World War II. They all had lost their homes, possessions, jobs, security... but finally, finally, they were safe … or so they thought. This WWII story is explained through a kid’s view on WWII by Mr. Ralph and Cathy Brink.

Slave Kids, the ‘death watchers’!

Although we were just real young kids, we were put to work in the tropical sun in the death camps of the World War II. We weeded around the death camp, or were put to work breaking clumps of hard dried dirt with our bare hands so as to prepare beds of soil for some foodstuffs to grow.

Some years after the World War, as a teenager, I made a drawing showing the dirt beds, the bilik fence, and a watchtower which was manned by an armed guard. A hole on the bilik symbolized the intense desire for life outside the camps; the desire to see the horizon rather than the hated fence.

There was another utterly disgusting job for which kids were used: the ‘death watching’ in the death camps. They had to do it with the dying old men whose bodies were usually terribly swollen, and from which as a result of the tropical heat fluids dripped.

After any one of the old men died, the kids had to close the eyelids and call the orderly. They then had to help prepare the body for burial. Basically that amounted to old watches, rings or other valuables being swiped, to be used for smuggling. The kids then had to place the cadavers on simple gurneys made out of boards, which were then often placed outside, in the tropical sun. There was no room anywhere else. Some 10-15 old men died each day. And thus our story in the death camps were horrible with lot of suffering aspects. The Japanese death camps in Ambarawa were more horrible. This WWII story is explained through a kid’s view on WWII by Mr. Ralph and Cathy Brink.

The sacrifice of a mother

The WW II story is continued in the book of World War II filled with lot of suffering aspects, but we should take it as inspiring ones.

In the mid-September of the year 1944, I turned 10. We were still interned in Banjoe Biroe as death camp slaves. About that time, an announcement was made that all boys 10 years and older would get a free pair of socks; and to present themselves at a particular date and time by the front gate. My Mother was apprehensive. I thought it was a great idea the first present I would be getting in years!

As the 10-year old boys assembled at the right time, our names were carefully noted. Subsequently the Mothers were told to pack some necessities and changes of clothing, because the next day we were to be taken to a special boys’ camp. That camp turned out to be the infamous death camp 7 in Ambarawa; a death camp with a very miserable reputation.

Now my dear Mother had to say goodbye to her youngest her already scrawny 10-year-old flesh-and-blood. Imagine: For years she had not heard anything from or about her own elderly parents in Nazi-occupied Holland at the time of World War II. Her husband, the oldest stepson, and her now 2-year old son Fred had already been taken away. This time she had to say good-bye to her ‘baby.’

As I mentioned before: during all those war years I never ever heard my mother complain. When the Japanese death camps army truck with its cargo of dearly beloved 10-year old boys drove away, my Mom waved and did not even visibly cry. She made things easier on me, for sure!

It was decades later that my oldest sister Vanda told me how, after the military truck had driven off with its precious cargo and vanished out of sight, my Mother collapsed and completely broke down. What a vicious assault to the human psyche, to have a Mother experience one horrendous blow after another. This WWII story is explained through a kid’s view on WWII by Mr. Ralph and Cathy Brink.

Wicked leaders

The cruelty of the World War is mainly due to the inhuman and selfish mentality of the leaders who ruled over those days. Many suffered in death camps like Japanese death camps, Ambarawa Camp Seven, Indonesia death camps etc. What does make me sad, however, is to observe even today the use of mesmerizing power of clearly wicked leaders, führers and dictators usually backed by their religious, political, and military sycophants.

These leaders of the World War had an mysterious ability to brainwash entire population and create a cruel and fanatical mob mentality. And it is continued even today. That mentality justifies and even rewards mindless atrocities more often than not with the wholehearted blessing of their religious clergy something that has been the case in both Christendom as well as in atheist and Communist countries. That is what is absolutely terrifying.

Mankind apparently refuses to benefit from the lessons of its recent history. World War II is past; but do not for a moment believe that the cycle of violence and brutality of man’s inhumanity to man has abated. Witness Korea, Vietnam, Malawi, Cambodia, Rwanda, Burundi, Zimbabwe, Iraq, Iran, and too many other places to mention. The WW II story narrates everything from the life incidents of some soldiers and victims.

How privileged we are to be alive, even with the various problems we have to contend with, such as old age, sickness, and what-have-you. Let us never take our many blessings for granted, or lose our joy in the worship of our Heavenly creator because He is the one who leads us with hope. This hope and joy aroused from the sufferings of the World War is our inspiration to go forward.

Any personal animosity towards the Japanese or German people?

The bitter memories of the World War II, which were haunting me for certain period of my life became enriching and energizing ones. To be in Pearl Harbor, the place where the U.S.A. first became involved in that awful World War, and to stand in the exact spot on the Missouri where the surrender document was signed, made me deeply meditate on how precious life, along with our present blessings associated with freedom, really is. Our lives have been changed from indescribable tragedy to boundless joy!

I found myself spending time in heartfelt prayer, whether sitting in Waikiki Beach enjoying God’s delightful creation, or lying in bed at night next to the love of my life, my precious, faithful wife Cathy.

How privileged we are to be alive, even with the various problems we have to contend with, such as old age, sickness, and what-have-you. Let us never take our many blessings for granted, or lose our joy in the worship of our Heavenly creator.

Regarding the sufferings in the World War along with Japanese death camps and German the death camp slaves some have asked me whether I still have any personal animosity towards the Japanese or German people. My simple, emphatic answer is: No, I do not. I have come to appreciate that in every nation there is good, and there is evil. The Bible book of Acts says it well:

“For a certainty I perceive that God is not partial, but in

every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness

is acceptable to Him.”

Cathy and I have wholeheartedly accepted the significance of those words. It is a simple indication that a spiritual outlook in life can help one gain peace, as well as hope, comfort and joy.

The WW II story which is explained in the book of World War II is mostly filled with lot of suffering aspects, but we should take it as inspiring ones. The Japanese death camps in Ambarawa were horrible. This WWII story is explained through a kid’s view on WWII by Mr. Ralph and Cathy Brink.

USS Missouri war memorial

Reflecting on the WWII story account, we [me and my wife] visited the battleship Missouri, which was decommissioned in 1998. It rests a tone’s throw away from the Arizona. On the deck of this battleship the surrender by Japan was signed, and that formally ended WW II.

As my wife and I stood on the deck of the Missouri, overlooking beautiful Pearl Harbor, the serene countryside and its gorgeous cloud-filled skies, we could not help but reflect in total amazement on man’s inhumanity to man in the World War II. We could not conceive of what possible justification existed in the minds of those fighter pilots swooping in on that early Sunday morning, to indiscriminately kill and maim their fellow man!

In 1999, the battleship USS Missouri was moved to Pearl Harbor from the United States west coast and docked near, and perpendicular to, the USS Arizona Memorial. Upon the deck of the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, the Japanese surrendered to United States General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz, ending World War II. The pairing of the two ships became an evocative symbol of the beginning and end of the United States' participation in the bloodiest war the world had ever seen.

The pairing of the two ships has not been free from controversy, however. Memorial staff has criticized the placement of the Missouri, saying the large battleship would "overshadow" the Arizona Memorial of the World War II. To help guard against this perception Missouri was placed well back of the Arizona Memorial, and positioned in Pearl Harbor in such a way as to prevent those participating in Military Ceremonies on Missouri's aft decks from seeing the Arizona Memorial. The decision to have Missouri's bow face the Arizona Memorial was intended to convey that Missouri now watches over the remains of the battleship Arizona so that those interred within Arizona's hull may rest in peace. These measures have helped preserve the individual identities of the Arizona Memorial and the Missouri Memorial, which has improved the public's perception of having both Arizona and Missouri in the same harbor.

A flood of emotions overwhelmed me. My thoughts went back in time, to Sept 2, 1945. The members of my family had been incarcerated in various different Japanese concentration camps for years in WW II. On the very day that surrender document was signed on the Missouri, I was only 10 years old, a ‘boy-slave’ of the Japanese death camp slaves. I had been separated from my Mother, my Dad, and my siblings. My oldest brother was a P.O.W. in Japan. Had ‘The Bomb’— which led to Japan’s signing of the surrender — had it been dropped just a week later, I would not have made it. I was literally on ‘death’s doorstep,’ emaciated, dehydrated, suffering from beriberi and dysentery.

Arizona, an unforgettable War memorial

The history of World War II has an unforgettable place for Arizona. The USS Arizona Memorial is situated at Pearl Harbor, Hawai. It marks the resting place of 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors killed on the USS Arizona during the Attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 by Japanese imperial forces and commemorates the events of that day. The attack on Pearl Harbor and the island of Oahu was the action that led to United States involvement in World War II.

This WWII memorial, dedicated in 1962 and visited by more than one million persons annually, spans the sunken hull of the battleship without touching it. Since it opened in 1980, the National Park Service has operated the USS Arizona Memorial Visitor Center associated with the memorial. Historical information about the attack, boat access to the memorial, and general visitor services are available at the center. The sunken remains of the battleship were declared a National Historic Landmark on 5 May 1989.

The Book of World War II has a giant casket, the rusted remains of the Arizona still entomb 1177 bodies of men [son, father, or a sibling]; leaving behind family members numbering into the tens of thousands. I could not begin to imagine the heartrending emotions relatives just experience who visit the location... a location no doubt sacred to every one of them. The WW II story explains them well.

The silent, rusting remains of that sunken battleship symbolize an extended tragedy: the millions upon millions earth wide who were massacred in that ‘World War II;’ as well as those who lost loved ones, mates, parents and children. Still others who were permanently disabled, starved to death or tortured in this senseless slaughter, this most heinous of wars in human history!

Fifty years after the World War II, a UN official, considering the genocide in Rwanda and Burundi, made a chilling comment that proved to be so tragically true during World War II: “People can be transformed into hating and killing machines without too much difficulty.”

Pearl Harbor

This part of the WW II story explains about the Pearl Harbor. It is well known in the book of World War II. While we were enjoying beautiful vacation, my wife and I took time out to visit the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor is a harbor on the island of O’ahu, Hawaii, west of Honolulu. Much of the harbor and surrounding lands is a United States Navy deep-water naval base. It is also the headquarters of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan on December 7, 1941 brought the United States into World War II.

The decommissioned battleship Missouri lies tied up close by. Groups of tourists visit here daily. As it turned out, our visits to the two Memorials proved to be an unexpected, emotional experience for me. First we visited the Arizona Memorial; one of the battleships sunk in Pearl Harbor on that fateful day which was called by President Franklin D. Roosevelt “a date that will live in Infamy”— December 7, 1941.

Early on Sunday morning, that December 7th, Admiral Yamamoto sent his 353 Japanese fighters, bombers and torpedo planes towards Oahu in a sneak attack. The victorious battle cry: “Tora, Tora, Tora!”. Their Japanese death camps in Ambarawa were horrible. The carnage was stupendous. The human toll was 388 killed and 1,178 wounded. Twelve ships sunk, another nine damaged. One hundred sixty-four U.S. planes destroyed and another 159 damaged. From a twisted military point of view, this attack by Japan might be called an absolute success…Also the death camp slaves suffered a lot in the Indonesian death camps like Ambarawa Camp Seven etc.

It was impossible for me to picture those hundreds of airplanes swooping in like so many killer bees on that Sunday morning, wreaking such havoc and destruction. How many thousands of Mothers, Fathers, and grandparents lost their sons, daughters and loved ones that day? … And why? For the United States, “Pearl Harbor” marked the start of its participation in World War II; a struggle with huge armies and material pitted against each other, killing and being killed, wounding, destroying, raping and torturing of innocent men, women and children, all without a shred of mercy. The World War II had indeed made a deep scar upon mankind.

The pain of a 'boy slave'

Just imagine the life of a small boy, separated from his mother at age 10, and taken by Japanese Army truck to an unknown destination? What emotions and pain gone through his mind and heart? Rather than play and go to school, his lot became that of a ‘Boy Slave,’ in what came to be known as a death camp. The WW II story which is explained in the book of World War II is mostly filled with lot of suffering aspects, but we should take it as inspiring ones. Here below you read the story of that pain of a small boy little by little who underwent and witnessed many atrocities as a young boy. He reflects about it from his present situation.

In September 2, 1945, Japan’s Foreign Minister Shigemitsu and general Yoshijiro Umezo both signed the surrender document of the WWII. General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz signed the document on behalf of the United States. Representatives of eight Allied nations added their signatures. The bloody conflict was finally over! And after 60 Years later World War II officially came to an end.

This brief ceremony represented momentous turn of events in the Twentieth Century — the finale of a war that was so utterly senseless, so costly in human lives, so depraved and destructive that it is well described as Total War. In every respect, that war with its estimated 55,000,000+ dead and many more millions wounded and displaced, mirrors the description of the ‘Ride of the horsemen’ in the book of Revelation, or Apocalypse.

The five years of the book of World War II, from 1940-1945, have had an immeasurable impact on human society that is felt even today, sixty years later, and will no doubt continue to affect life on this earth for decades to come.

Yet, in spite of its magnitude and impact on mankind, relatively few people today seem to have any real grasp, any realistic concept of the real horror and extent of the conflict. Names such as Hitler, Hirohito, and Stalin are as alien as Nebuchadnezzar, Nero, and Attila the sun. Admittedly, the majority of people alive today were not even born when that historic surrender document was signed on the deck of the battleship Missouri; but should the heart-rending lessons of our recent history be lost so quickly?

During February 2001 my wife and were in Hawaii for the wedding of our oldest grand-daughter Ellice. It was a joyful occasion, and I was privileged to conduct the wedding. The ceremony took place at sunset, on a catamaran off the coast of Waikiki. To see those two young people, with bright eyes looking towards the future with happy anticipation, was indeed a delight. It is our sincere wish as well as the wish of their parents that they will be spared experiences like those of WWII story.

War murderers!!!

This collection of Nazi, as well as of Japanese vermin has indeed gone down in history, but neither with honor nor dignity. Lot of atrocities were done unto them. They were silent victims in the chamber, hanging ropes etc. But the end of these war murderers was very pathetic. Their hands were washed in the innocent blood and the curse of these innocent blood was fallen upon them. This WWII story is explained through a kid’s view on WWII by Mr. Ralph and Cathy Brink. Their names have merely been added to the long list of names of other criminals: mass murderers such as Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Mobutu, and a host of other killers among whom are even supposedly ‘Christian’ slave traders, as well as the clerical Inquisitors of the Middle Ages whose actions, to this date, are emblematic of the most fiendish of tortures. The Japanese death camps in Ambarawa were horrible. The death camp slaves suffered a lot in the Indonesian death camps like Ambarawa Camp Seven etc.

Many precious lives were slaughtered, many bright brains were jammed, many fighters for the cause of truth were massacred. However, this brief account does not solely concentrate on the world war II and the sufferings experienced by so many. It also points to a source of hope that has been able to sustain millions in this violent 20th century. This WW II story which is explained in the book of World War II is mostly filled with lot of suffering aspects, but we should take it as inspiring ones.

Paul Joseph Goebbels, a 'terror' after Hitler?

In this WWII context it is better to know about Paul Joseph Goebbels. He was a politician and Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. He was Adolf Hitler's closest associates and most devout followers. Goebbels was known for his zealous, energetic oratory, and poisonous anti-Semitism; he was responsible for Kristallnacht. Goebbels earned a Ph.D. in Heidelberg University in 1921, writing his doctoral thesis on 18th century romantic drama. Goebbels came into contact with the Nazi Party in 1923 during the French occupation of the Ruhr and became a member in 1924. He was appointed Gauleiter (regional party leader) of Berlin. In this position, he put his propaganda skills to full use, combating the local socialist and communist parties with the help of Nazi papers and the paramilitary SA. He rose up to one of the most prominent members party ranks By 1928. When Nazis got the power in 1933, he was chosen propaganda minister. He gained full control of every outlet of information in Germany. After his appointment, his attacks on German Jews, were horrible and ever fiercer. The Book of World War II explains them well.WWII atrocities were so cruel.

Goebbels did everything in his power to prepare the German people for a large scale military conflict. During World War II, he increased his power and influence through shifting alliances with other Nazi leaders. By late 1943, the tide of the war was turning against the Axis powers, but this only spurred Goebbels to intensify the propaganda by urging the Germans to accept the idea of WWII and mobilization. Goebbels remained with Hitler in Berlin to the very end. He and his family had a cruel end of lives. It is said that Goebbels allowed his wife, Magda, to kill their six young children. And then, Goebbels and his wife both committed suicide. The pathetic end of a dictator!

He kept a diary for much of his life. He wrote the entries himself from 1923 to 1941. Then he dictated lengthy passages to aides from 1941 to 1945. He sometimes telephoned them in the middle of the night when he wanted to add some text. The dictations usually opened with a description of the military situation, followed by his personal comments. The dictated diary is not as personal as the earlier one he wrote himself. Much of the diaries were thought to have been lost during World War II. However in 1992, they were discovered to be held in Soviet-era archives - as Goebbels himself had ordered his diaries to be duplicated while in the Fuhrerbunker, and buried in a nearby grove of trees - believing that one day history would laud him, and would want to know about his life. Did it ever happen?

In 1943, he wrote in his book Das Reich regarding WWI: “We shall go down in history as the greatest statesmen of all time, or as its greatest criminals.” History proved that the Nazis certainly were not great statesmen. After a fast start in a complacent world tired of war, they proved to be bureaucratic bunglers. Today the Nazi represents nothing but the most despicable; indeed, the vilest of human froth. This WWII story is explained through a kid’s view on WWII by Mr. Ralph and Cathy Brink.

“Power corrupts… and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

A single war makes lot of impact in the history and thus the people’s mode of life. Most of the influence of the war is painful and unforgettable. The WWII story is the same and it is filled with lot of suffering aspects than advantages. The ghostly remembrance of the Japanese death camps in Ambarawa is horrible. This is very much explicit and clear from the sharing of the soldiers of the WWII. Only the negative aspects rather than the positive are manifested mostly in the book of World War II .

This account does not present facts of history in a politically correct way. Facts are presented by people who lived that history, and miraculously survived this war. We shall certainly not gloss over the despicable deeds of the wretched collection of high-ranking thugs, ambitious bullies and hoodlums, whether they parade around as kings, kaisers, emperors, dictators or führers. The death camp slaves suffered a lot in the Indonesian death camps like Ambarawa Camp Seven etc. Self-confident in their imagined superiority, pompously strutting around in their shiny boots, the Nazi and Japanese gangsters proved true the saying “Power corrupts… and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

What was the final consequence of the WWII? Nothing but chaos and confusion!! Any gain? But only pain….the pain in the mind, body and spirit. Yes, dear friends, do you want to know more about this WWII story. Sure, This WWII story is explained for you through a kid’s view on WWII by Mr. Ralph and Cathy Brink who was a soldier and witness of the atrocities in the World War II.

What does Kofi Annan say on War?

FROM BOY SLAVE TO RICHES: Introduction VIII Part

Actually the ‘leaders’ of the world initiate the War between countries to countries, tongues to tongues and gender to gender. It is a necessity for such ‘leaders’ to have war or any other kinds of confusion in the world so that their ‘kingdom’ should be established well in this world, to get more financial profit and comfort. This is what led to the World War II. This war led to many pathetic consequences such as death camp slaves, Japanese death camps etc. This World War II story is explained with lot of suffering aspects.

Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the U.N., expressed it well. In the summer of 2001 he reflected on the ‘leaders’ of the world who live comfortably in their palaces and mansions. He observed that, on the whole, they aren’t particularly nice people. They are men who put personal ambition and lust for power above the interests of humanity. “Perhaps,” he said, “this explains an awful lot about the world we live in.” He was right. It is these cruel megalomaniacs who not only cause death and destruction upon their #8216;enemies;’ but who are willing to ‘sacrifice’ even their own countrymen; to allow even their own people — including innocent children — to suffer horrendously. This WWII story is explained through a kid’s view on WWII by Mr. Ralph Brink.

War Lords!!! Heroes??? Saviors????

FROM BOY SLAVE TO RICHES: Introduction VII Part

Most of the people [in any nationality] wants and strives for Peace and friendship with one another with all of the people in the world. Then, how the divisional mentality arises? It is because of the political mafia’s selfish interference for the survival and success of their group or parties. It is a kind of game among the political parties. Unless there is no chaos or confusion in the society what is the role of the political parties. They have nothing to do. It is the ‘mutual understanding’ among political parties to make trouble among the people and play ‘heroes’ among them as ‘saviors’. That’s how the war arise sacrificing many innocent people. That is what happened in the case of WWII. Many suffered due to this WWII. The Japanese death camps in Ambarawa were horrible. The death camp slaves suffered a lot in the Indonesian death camps like Ambarawa Camp Seven etc.

The purpose of this account is not to elevate any one’s nationality over another. We recognize that the common people in any country, of any ethnic or religious background, are decent and peace-loving folk. Rather, the real villains are without exception the führers, the War Lords, the Emperors,Kaisers, Csars, and megalomaniacal dictators, backed by their modern version of the Roman ‘Praetorian guard,’ and historically supported by their clergy representing various religious systems. This WWII story is explained through a kid’s view on WWII by Mr. Ralph Brink.

Anne Frank, an innocent lamb!

Hi friends,

Today you are reading bit about a young girl who made an important footstone in the Book of World War II. She is Anne Frank, the well-known 13-year-old Jewish girl murdered by the Nazi war machine. She showed in a remarkable way how a young Innocent, even without realizing it herself, was able to rise miles above the hatred of the utterly perverted, ruthless collection of Nazi degenerates. It is a Kids view on WW II. Not long before she died in the infamous Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, this young girl wrote in her little red Diary: “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” Just realize her optimistic attitude towards life even in the midst of hardships and sufferings!

Also the WWII Story was filled with atrocities in Japanese death camps. People suffered a lot. Many were tortured unnecessarily in the Ambarawa Camp Seven. The Japanese death camps in Ambarawa were horrible. This WWII story is explained through a kid’s view on WWII by Mr. Ralph Brink. And it is an interesting stuff to read on. Read it and get inspired!

The WW II story, is of course a painful one. It is an inspiration for all the kids to be better citizens for their country. This account in the book of World War II provides a glimpse into the lives of some of these kids under those awful circumstances WW II story: their fears, their sufferings, their observations of adults, their simple wisdom and their every humor. The stories of kids from among the various nationalities and backgrounds represent horrific experiences; the result of mean-spirited adults at World War II. It must be remembered that none of these kids, of what-ever nationality they were, shared in the guilt for the atrocities perpetrated by their political and military leaders.
