IMPORTANT PETITION

  


You can't talk about the Dutch East Indies without talking about WWII. The Japanese invaded the islands with the aim of dominance over all of Asia. My father was a POW of the Japanese on the Thai-Burma Railway, as so many thousands of others.  This American made movie "Unbroken" depicts an American soldier captured by the Japanese.  Now the Japanese Nationals want to ban it from being shown in Japan because it exposes the brutality of their treatment of prisoners.

Please join in me in honoring those victims by signing this petition. Let our voices be heard - history revisionists in Japan will see there are millions of people out there who can verify that this movie is just the tip of the iceberg.
