Prisoners of war items (2)
After Japan occupied Hong Kong, the majority of prisoners of war (POW) were held in the Sham Shui Po POW camp. In late January 1942, some 2,000 were transferred to North Point, most of whom were forced to do hard labour building roads or expanding the airport. This is a picture book depicting life in the POW camp during the Japanese occupation.
