Hidden POW Bombings in Nagasaki

Eighty years ago, the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, claimed lives but spared hundreds of Allied prisoners of war. These men, held in brutal camps, endured slave labor and harsh conditions. When the bomb hit, camp number fourteen lost at least eight prisoners, while camp number two saw shattered windows but no direct deaths. Survivors like Leendert Klok and Rene Schafer shared their harrowing experiences. In September, relatives of Dutch POWs and Japanese survivors honored everyone at a Nagasaki memorial. Researchers are uncovering neglected records, and at least eleven ex-POWs have received official atomic survivor certificates in Japan. This hidden history is finally gaining attention through family efforts and groups like the POW Research Network, who urge Japan to reflect on its wartime atrocities alongside the bombings.
