They were taught that American soldiers were "kichiku"—brutal beasts who would torture and devour them. Many Japanese women carried vials of poison or grenades, ready to commit suicide rather than face capture.
But when the surrender came, they didn't find a dungeon. They found a sanctuary.
This video opens the forgotten pages of diaries written by female Japanese POWs—nurses, typists, and civilians—who were shocked to discover that life as a prisoner of the United States was better than life as a free citizen of Imperial Japan.
We reveal the startling entries that describe:
The "Feasts": Women who had been starving on meager rations were suddenly given white rice, Spam, chocolate, and cigarettes—luxuries they hadn't seen in years.
The "Paradise": Why one nurse wrote, "If this is being a prisoner, I never want to be free," as she experienced hot showers, medical care, and respect from her captors.
The Guilt: The complex emotions of women who felt ashamed that they were gaining weight and living in comfort while their families back in Japan were starving.
