NEVER FORGOTTEN - JAPANESE POW CAMPS

This is a site about the Japanese prisoner of war camps on the island of Taiwan (Formosa) during the Second World War and of the men who were interned in them. The inhuman cruelty and atrocities they suffered on behalf of us all must never have been in vain for they are the greatest of all heros.
