Troostmeisjes Comfort Women
€39.00
Jan Banning and Hilde Janssen visited Indonesian women who during the war were victims of forced sexual labor. In this book, 18 of them break the persistent taboo against speaking out on the issue. Showing them in combination with Japanese war posters, the book presents male and female sides of war, and propaganda versus reality. Short narratives depict the fate of these and other former comfort women, painting a gripping picture of this hidden history.
Troostmeisjes Comfort Women by Jan Banning explores the harrowing history of women and girls from across Asia, primarily Korea and China, who were abducted or coerced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military. The book provides a historical overview of the 'comfort station' system, documenting the systematic nature of these crimes during the Pacific War. It serves as both a historical record and a memorial to the victims, detailing the long-term psychological and physical consequences for the survivors.
