Andrau, Robine / Andrau, Klara Sima. Bowing to the emperor: we were captives in WWII. Scituate, Massachusetts: Apple Rock Publishing, 2015, printed 30 September 2016, vi, 353pp., PAPERBACK, very good with only light shelfwear. SIGNED by Robine Andrau and briefly INSCRIBED to recipient with first name only, dated at a library event. 10,500 women and children. - That's how many civilian prisoners of the Japanese were packed into Tjideng, reportedly the worst Japanese concentration camp in Java during World War II. Among these 10,500 women and children were Klara and her three young daughters. Meanwhile Klara's husband, Wim, was among the 1500 military men crammed into a hell ship and transported to a coal-mining town in Japan as a slave laborer. Bowing to the Emperor: We Were Captives in WWII chronicles in graphic detail the Andrau family's experience during those dark years in Indonesia and Japan. The story reveals the fierce determination and ingenuity of a mother and the strength and leadership of a father when faced with starvation, brutality, and unspeakable living conditions. Besides being the personal story of a family, it is also a universal story of survival and of hope despite loss of country and loss of all material possessions. Have your fingertips or your knees ever been hungry? Have you ever had a constant ache in your stomach, an ache that worsens if you put a little food in it? Have you ever been prepared to cut slices off your shrunken buttocks to feed your children? This is starvation. - ch. 9 Klara, January 1945 - The prisoners were jammed into a space between decks where the Japanese had built an extra floor. The space was so cramped that the men could hardly sit upright. Eerily quiet, they sat as ordered, stupefied by the heat and the fear of what would happen next - ch. 4 Wim, March 1942.
