506 Access limited to subscribing institutions.
520 A moving memoir of childhood in Dutch colonial Java,
coming of age in wartime, and the trauma of life in WWII
Labor Camps run by the Japanese. As a boy growing up the
Dutch island colony of Java, John K. Stutterheim spent
hours exploring his exotic surroundings, taking walks with
his younger brother and dachshund along winding jungle
roads. It was a fairly typical life for a colonial family
in the Dutch East Indies, but their colonial idyll ended
when the Japanese invaded in 1942, when John was fourteen.
With the surrender of Java, John's father was taken
prisoner. Soon thereafter, John, his younger brother, and
his mother were imprisoned. A year later he and his
brother were moved to a forced labor camp for boys, where
disease, starvation, and the constant threat of imminent
death took their toll. Throughout all of these travails,
John kept a secret diary hidden in his mattress. His
memories now offer a unique perspective on an often-
overlooked episode of World War II. What emerges is a
compelling story of a young man caught up in the
machinations of a global war-struggling to survive while
caring for his gravely ill brother.
