4.0 out of 5 stars A piece of Dutch History silenced for 50 years, 4 Jun 1997
By A Customer
A hidden past revealed when a son finally faces the silence of the memories of a father and mother who were caught in Indonesia during WWII. Their son describes the horror, the fate, and family failures in a dark story. Excellent translation.
