台北沙龍 The Taipei Salon
他們是戰俘，他們在台灣
1941年太平洋戰爭爆發，激戰中，數十萬盟軍士兵被日軍俘虜，分送各地集中營。四千多
人被送往日本殖民地－台灣，充當奴工。
大多數是英國、印度、澳洲的年輕人，命運在台灣交會。在全台十四個陰森泥爛的戰俘營
裡，戰俘被迫從事採礦、挖掘河床的苦役，管理他們的，是福爾摩沙的台籍「監視員」，
日本戰敗後，戰俘等船歸鄉，很多監視員則被送上國際法庭接受審判。
戰爭，使人的命運、角色、價值被錯置──台灣有一段我們自己不太認識的歷史。

They Were Prisoners of War
They Were in Taiwan
During WWII, thousands of allied POWS were held captive on Taiwan by the
Japanese military. Most of them were young soldiers from the UK, India and
Australia. They lived in the grimiest of conditions and were forced into
slave labor such as mining and river dredging. The camp inspectors were young
Taiwanese men, many of whom were later brought to trial for war crime.
This part of Taiwan’s history, where people’s fate, roles, and values were
distorted by war, remains largely unknown to most people.
