• Samenvatting
  I could tell the story - life and survival - 1940/49 (a time document - original title “Ik kon het navertellen”) The true story of Major 'Jan Hanssen' takes place in the period 1940-1949 before and during the Second World War in Asia (Dutch East Indies, Burma and Siam ). Major 'Hanssen', as a Dutch K.N.I.L. officer, documents his experiences as commander of an internment camp; being interned himself at the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe; the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies and subsequently his struggle for survival as a prisoner of war on the Burma Railway. He compellingly describes the era of a world that many unfortunately could not live to tell. Because the story is based on truth, most personal names have been replaced at the express request of the main character and family. The original manuscript is protected by copyright.
