[KS] "Petition; "Make U.S. high school curriculums more inclusive of Japanese War Crimes during WW II"

[Henny Savenije]

I know and have known many people who were in an Indonesian 
(Japanese) concentration camp, some family members, some friends, 
some who spent their youth there.

Each and every one of them told me that they hated the Koreans more 
than the Japanese, the Korean camp guards were more cruel than the 
Japanese. I knew one couple, he, Dutch spent the war in an Indonesian 
concentration camp, she, Jewish, spent the last part of the war in a 
German concentration camp. They both stated that the Japanese camps 
were more brutal.
